Book excerpt: "Tables of atmospheric density and composition are computed for a wide range of exospheric temperatures, starting from a fixed set of boundary conditions at 120 km. The diffusion equation is integrated following empirical temperature profiles derived from satellite drag over the years. Formulae are given which relate the exospheric temperature to solar and geomagnetic activity and allow for the diurnal and semi-annual variations. The different response of the density at the 200-km level to different types of heating is briefly discussed.."--Page 1.
