ThermosphericState2GriddedData
This program converts the output (neutral mass density,temperature) of an empirical thermosphere model (e.g. JB2008) on a given grid. Additionally, also the thermospheric winds estimated by using the horizontal wind model HWM 2014 can be assessed. The time for the evaluation can be specified in time. The values will be saved together with points expressed as ellipsoidal coordinates (longitude, latitude, height) based on a reference ellipsoid with parameters R and inverseFlattening.
