Abstract

Aims – The Drag Temperature Model (DTM) is a semi-empirical model describing the temperature, density, and composition of the Earth’s thermosphere. DTM2013 was developed in the framework of the Advanced Thermosphere Modelling and Orbit Prediction project (ATMOP). It is evaluated and compared with DTM2009, the pre-ATMOP benchmark, and the Committe on Space Research (COSPAR) reference model for atmospheric drag JB2008.
