Predicting global thermospheric neutral density during periods with high geomagnetic activity[UT Associate Professor's paper published by  Naturer Publisher]

The publication of the article of the Associate Professor of the College of Engineering by Nature Publisher: Presenting a new method for predicting the neutral density of the thermosphere in a geomagnetic storm.               

Dr. Saeed Farzaneh, the Associate Professor of the School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, has presented a new method for predicting the neutral density of the thermosphere in geomagnetic storm conditions.

Explaining this method, Dr. Farzaneh said: "The proposed method is based on combining satellite data with an experimental thermospheric model using the Ensemble Kalman Filter method, which includes a combination of data mining techniques and model calibration."

He added: "The term neutral density of the thermosphere refers to the amount of neutral particles in the upper atmosphere, with a height of 100 to 2000 km from the earth's surface, and accurate measurement of this atmospheric characteristic plays a vital role in predicting spacecraft orbits."
