A New Method for Deriving the Nightside Thermospheric Density Based on GUVI Dayside Limb Observations by Tingting Yu, Zhipeng Ren, You Yu, Weixing Wan

“…Higher correlation coefficients and smaller relative standard errors between CHAMP observations and the NEM results are obtained than those between CHAMP observations and the EM results, and the NEM results are in good agreement with the CHAMP observations in time series during both daytime and nighttime, which all prove the NEM method is effective to the reproduction and extension of GUVI original dayside observations. Furthermore, the NEM reveals two typical seasonal variation features, the semiannual variation and equinoctial asymmetry of thermospheric density. …”
