Expand description

NRLMSISE-00 empirical atmosphere model.

Clean-room implementation based on the following references:

  • Picone, J.M. et al. (2002), “NRLMSISE-00 empirical model of the atmosphere: Statistical comparisons and scientific issues”, J. Geophys. Res., 107(A12), 1468, doi:10.1029/2002JA009430
  • Hedin, A.E. (1991), “Extension of the MSIS thermosphere model into the middle and lower atmosphere”, J. Geophys. Res., 96(A2), 1159-1172.
  • Hedin, A.E. (1987), “MSIS-86 thermospheric model”, J. Geophys. Res., 92(A5), 4649-4662.

Coefficient values are from the official NRL distribution, treated as published data. NRLMSISE-00 is believed to be in the public domain as a U.S. Government work (17 U.S.C. § 105), though no explicit license was provided by NRL.

Note: MSIS is a registered trademark. This module uses the name “NRLMSISE-00” for nominative fair use (identifying compatibility with the NRL model).

Validated against pymsis (official NRL Fortran wrapper, version=0).
