AB: The increasing importance of modeling for the interpretation of geophysical observations has led to the need to make the simulation results easily accessible and widely disseminated. In fact, it is widely recognized that models are essential to the success of any space or groundbased research program, often referred to as an additional "instrument". The treatment of the outputs from geophysical models will vary according to the models' complexity - from simple one-dimensional steady state to complex three dimensional time dependent models. The usefulness of this output depends on the quantity and temporal and spatial scales of the phenomena simulated. In this paper, we discuss the particular issues relevant to ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere studies for current modeling capabilities and programmatic environment. Specifically, we will address the practical considerations to include current model output in existing and geophysical databases including virtual observatories.
