The mass density of Earth's thermosphere (∼ 90–600 km altitude) is a critical parameter for
low Earth orbit prediction because of the atmospheric drag on satellites in this region. In this …

At the turn of the century RG Roble advanced an ambitious program of developing an
atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) extending from the surface to the exosphere …

A newly discovered 1000‐km scale longitudinal variation in ionospheric densities is an
unexpected and heretofore unexplained phenomenon. Here we show that ionospheric …

The launch of the proof-of-concept mission GPS/MET (Global Positioning
System/Meteorology) in 1995 began a revolution in profiling Earth's atmosphere through …

The seasonal and interannual variability of migrating (Sun‐synchronous) and nonmigrating
solar atmospheric tides at altitudes between 100 and 116 km are investigated using …

The Far Ultraviolet Imager (FUV) on board the IMAGE satellite provides an instantaneous
global view of the OI 135.6‐nm nightglow with 2 min time resolution. Because the OI 135.6 …

Abstract The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global‐scale Observations of
the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission observed a unique structure of thermospheric column …

Thermospheric neutral density and composition exhibit a strong seasonal variation, with
maxima near the equinoxes, a primary minimum during northern hemisphere summer, and a …

The geomagnetic storm on February 3, 2022 caused the loss of 38 Starlink satellites of
Space‐X. The Global‐scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) observations and …

Recent observations and model simulations demonstrate unequivocally that non‐Sun‐
synchronous (nonmigrating) tides due to deep tropical convection produce large …
