Title/Introduction: The CTIP simulations will be compared to output from similar numerical models (CMAT etc.), MSIS temperatures and measured thermospheric temperatures from the APL FPI at KEOPS, Esrange, Kiruna. This will (hopefully) be the first of a longer series which will stretch from Oct 23rd 2003 - Nov 2nd 2003 to test the model performance before during and after the major Halloween storms
