TL;DR: In this paper, the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM) has been updated in the thermosphere with new observations and formulation changes, including ground-based 630 nm Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) measurements in the equatorial and polar regions, as well as cross track winds from the Gravity Field and Steady State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite.

TL;DR: The Swarm SCARF (Satellite Constellation Application and Research Facility) as mentioned in this paper is a three-satellite constellation to study the dynamics of the Earth's magnetic field and its interactions with the Earth system, is expected to be launched in late 2013.

TL;DR: Empirical modelling of the thermosphere and non-gravitational force modelling using satellite dynamics observations is presented in this article, where the authors propose a method to produce density and crosswind from satellite dynamics data.

TL;DR: An iterative algorithm for determining density and crosswind from multiaxis accelerometer measurements on satellites is presented, which works independently of the orientation of the instrument in space, and is compared with previously published algorithms using simulated data for the challenging minisatellite payload.

TL;DR: NRLMSIS® 2.0 as mentioned in this paper is a major, reformulated upgrade of the previous version, NRLMSISE•00, which couples thermospheric species densities to the entire column, via an effective mass profile that transitions each species from the fully mixed region below ~70 km altitude to the diffusively separated region above ~200 km.
