An empirical model of the earth's plasmasphere
TLDR
In this paper, an empirical model for plasmaspheric low-energy plasma consisting of H(+) was developed from a data base derived from measurements taken by the Retarding Ion Mass Spectrometer on the DE-1 satellite.About:

International Reference Ionosphere 2000
TL;DR: The International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) is the international standard for the specification of ionospheric densities and temperatures as mentioned in this paper, which was developed and is being improved-updated by a joint working group of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Core Plasma Model
TL;DR: The Global Core Plasma Model (GCPM) as discussed by the authors is an attempt to assimilate previous empirical evidence and regional models into a continuous, smooth model of thermal plasma density in the inner magnetosphere.

TL;DR: The Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) will make in-situ measurements of the plasma environment of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as discussed by the authors, which will provide the complementary data sets necessary for an understanding of plasma processes in the inner coma, and the structure and evolution of the coma with the increasing cometary activity.

TL;DR: The accuracy of single-frequency ocean altimeters benefits from calibration of the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere below the satellite as discussed by the authors, and the accuracy of the ocean altimeter can be improved by calibrating the TEC.

TL;DR: In this article, the location of the He + edge was extracted from the closest-in-time EUV image and a correlation coefficient of 0.83 was obtained, and when the EUV He+edge location was taken as the average of two EUV measurements (one before and one after the RPI measurement), the correlation coefficient increased to 0.87.

Bulk motion of the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, an upper atmosphere geophysical measurements are surveyed to determine to what extent the available data support the concept of bulk motion of the magnetosphere (convection) and the associated electric field.

International reference ionosphere: Recent developments
TL;DR: In this article, the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) model is compared with the AEROS satellite data and it is shown that the IRI model is inaccurate in its description of the latitudinal behavior of the electron density in the ionosphere close to the magnetic equator.
