Study of dynamics of minor constituents in the thermosphere, addendum [PDF]
Numerical studies of a model of the earth's thermosphere are presented. The distribution of thermospheric helium was investigated. Changes in the global transport of helium under solstice conditions caused by a small increase in the latitudes at which ...

Thermospheric density from Starlink TLE: data analysis and preliminary results
This study examines the feasibility of utilizing Two-Line Element (TLE) data from Starlink satellites to estimate thermospheric density. TLE data for satellites in orbital decay were collected from September 19 to November 6, 2024.

Theoretical model for the latitude dependence of the thermospheric annual and semiannual variations [PDF]
A three-dimensional model for the annual and semiannual variations of the thermosphere is presented in which energy and diffusive mass transport associated with the global circulation are considered in a self-consistent form.

Coupling Between the Thermosphere and the Stratosphere: the Role of Nitric Oxide [PDF]
In order to understand the lower ionosphere and its probable control by dynamical processes, the behavior of nitric oxide below 100 km was investigated. A two dimensional model with coupled chemical and dynamical processes was constructed.

A numerical study of a three dimensional spherical thermospheric density and wind model [PDF]
Numerical calculations of the generation and propagation of the two important fundamental symmetric tidal wave modes - the diurnal mode (1, 1, 1,) and the semidiurnal mode (2, 2, 2) - were performed applying a realistic model thermosphere and taking into
