Thermospheric mass density measurement from precise orbit ephemeris
Atmospheric drag, which can be inferred from orbit information of low-Earth orbiting (LEO) satellites, provides a direct means of measuring mass density. The temporal resolution of derived mass density could be in the range from minutes to days, depending on the precision of the satellite orbit data...
