Seasonal variations of thermospheric mass density at dawn/dusk from GOCE observations

Thermospheric mass densities from the GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) satellite for Sun-synchronous orbits between 83.5° S and 83.5° N, normalized to 270 km during 2009–2013, have been used to develop an empirical mass density model at dawn/dusk local solar time...
