Description

The dataset consists of two .h5 files. "Dataset_DOGSOC_GROOPS.h5" contains the 12-hour thermospheric density scale factors of the satellites Starlette, Stella, and Larets of Chapter 4.2. Each path includes a file with three columns. The first column contains the time vector in JD2000.0. The second column and third column contain the scale factor time series (unfiltered, smoothed with a 10-day moving average filter). The following scale factor time series are available:

  • DOGSOC/starlette
  • DOGSOC/stella
  • DOGSOC/larets
  • GROOPS/starlette
  • GROOPS/stella
  • GROOPS/larets

 

"Dataset_SLR_ACC.h5" contains the 12-hour thermospheric density scale factors from SLR measurements (DOGS-OC) to the satellites Starlette, WESTPAC, Stella, and Larets and from accelerometer measurements of the satellites GRACE and CHAMP of Chapter 4.1. Each path includes a file with three columns. Again, the first column contains the time vector in JD2000.0, and columns 2 and 3 contain the thermospheric density scale factors (unfiltered, smoothed with a 10-day moving average fitler). The following scale factor time series are available:

  • ACC/CHAMP
  • ACC/GRACE
  • SLR/starlette
  • SLR/westpac
  • SLR/stella
  • SLR/larets
