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.

A direct measurement of the terrestrial mass accretion rate of cosmic dust.
S. G. Love,Donald E. Brownlee +1 more
TL;DR: The mass of extraterrestrial material accreted by the Earth as submillimeter particles has not previously been measured with a single direct and precise technique, but this mass input is comparable with or greater than the average contribution from extraterrestrial bodies in the 1-centimeter to 10-kilometer size range.

Polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE): Review of observations and current understanding
Markus Rapp,Franz-Josef Lübken +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a consistent explanation for the generation of these radar echoes has been developed based on new experimental results from in situ observations with sounding rockets, ground based observations with radars and lidars, numerical simulations with microphysical models of the life cycle of mesospheric aerosol particles, and theoretical considerations regarding the diffusivity of electrons in the ice loaded complex plasma of the mesopause region.

TL;DR: The Cassini-Huygens Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is intended to provide direct observations of dust grains with masses between 10-19 and 10-9 kg in interplanetary space and in the jovian and satumian systems, to investigate their physical, chemical and dynamical properties as functions of the distances to the Sun, to Jupiter and to Saturn and its satellites and rings as mentioned in this paper.
