A Simple Method for Correcting Empirical Model Densities During Geomagnetic Storms Using Satellite Orbit Data
Abstract Empirical models of the thermospheric density are routinely used to perform orbit maintenance, satellite collision avoidance, and estimate time and location of re‐entry for spacecraft. These models have characteristic errors in the thermospheric density below 10% during geomagnetic quiet ti...
