1. An operations support system for an engine with a turbine having a turbine inlet, comprising:

  • a diagnostic engine model unit configured to receive engine data from the engine and to generate diagnostics data based on the engine data, the diagnostics data including scalars;

    an engine-specific model unit coupled to the diagnostic engine model unit and configured to receive the scalars from the diagnostic engine model unit and configured to generate turbine inlet temperature information for the engine using a thermodynamic model, the thermodynamic model being based on component maps associated with the engine; and

    a storage unit coupled to the engine-specific model unit and configured to store the turbine inlet temperature information.
