Solar and magnetospheric forcing of the low latitude thermospheric mass density as observed by CHAMP

We have studied the dependence of the thermospheric mass density at equatorial latitudes on the influence of various drivers. This statistical study is based on CHAMP accelerometer measurements. Our aim is to delineate the influences of the different contributions. For the isolation of the effec...
