Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Nitric Oxide Production at High Latitudes Caused by an ICME‐Driven Storm onDec. 14, 2006 Open
Geomagnetic storms release large amounts of energy on Earth's upper atmosphere at high latitudes that result in the heating and upward expansion of the neutral gas. During geomagnetic storms driven by interplanetary coronal mass ejections …

The Need for Better Monitoring of Climate Change in the Middle and Upper Atmosphere Open
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions significantly impact the middle and upper atmosphere. They cause cooling and thermal shrinking and affect the atmospheric structure. Atmospheric contraction results in changes in key atmospheric featu…

Physics‐Based Approach to Thermospheric Density Estimation Using CubeSat GPS Data Open
In Low Earth Orbit (LEO), atmospheric drag is the largest contributor to trajectory prediction error. The current thermospheric density model used in operations, the High Accuracy Satellite Drag Model (HASDM), applies corrections to an emp…

Toward Accurate Physics‐Based Specifications of Neutral Density Using GNSS‐Enabled Small Satellites Open
Satellite‐atmosphere interactions cause large uncertainties in low‐Earth orbit determination and prediction. Thus, knowledge of and the ability to predict the space environment, most notably thermospheric mass density, are essential for op…
