A global thermospheric density model based on satellite accelerometer data / Frank A. Marcos, Dorothy F. Gillette, Edward C. Robinson.

Measurements from the accelerometer experiments on four low-altitude satellites (S3-1 and Atmosphere Explorer-C, -D, and -E) have been combined to produce an empirical model of the neutral mass density from 140 to 240 km. Data from over a 8000 orbits are analyzed using the least-squares method of mu...
