Global reasonable 2025-12-07 New source to be determined Values discussed with ET-SWX. Submitted by Kirsti Kauristie AA 1.3 POC Global coverage can be achieved by long term satellite measurements. Data from individual orbits can be used to validate thermospheric models in research and near-real-time operations.
