A new method for studying the thermospheric density variability derived from CHAMP/STAR accelerometer data for magnetically active conditions

Thermospheric densities deduced from STAR accelerometer measurements onboard the CHAMP satellite are used to characterize the thermosphere and its response to space weather events. The STAR thermospheric density estimates are analysed using a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) approach allowing...
