Density Fluctuations in the Lower Thermosphere of Mars Retrieved From the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) Aerobraking

The upper atmosphere of Mars is constantly perturbed by small-scale gravity waves propagating from below. As gravity waves strongly affect the large-scale dynamics and thermal state, constraining their statistical characteristics is of great importance for modeling the atmospheric circulation. We pr...
