Comparative terrestrial planet thermospheres: 3. Solar cycle variation of global structure and winds at solstices
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the combined seasonal-solar cycle responses of the thermospheres of Earth and Mars using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Thermospheric General Circulation Model (TGCM) utility to address the coupled energetics, dynamics, and neutral-ion composition above ∼100 km.

TL;DR: In this article, an IT model validation study using metrics was performed to quantitatively assess the current capabilities of ionosphere/thermosphere (IT) models, and the results from comparing modeled values against space-based measurements including NmF2 and hmF 2 from the CHAMP and COSMIC satellites, and electron and neutral densities at CHAMP satellite locations.
