Comment on the access:
The model is not really set up to be run externally as it is under continual development. Anyone interested in its use should contact Tommi Koskinen (tommi@apl.ucl.ac.uk)

Longer description:
This is a 3-d General Ciculation model of the thermosphere and ionosphere of a Gas Giant planet. Its atmosphere is assumed to be Hydrogen/Helium. Stellar EUV input is the main heating source and H3+
ion a significant coolant. Any rotation period can be simulated, and any distance from the star where
hydrodynamic escape has not yet become important.
