Dataset of the paper Zeitler et al. (2021) : Scale factors of the thermospheric density - a comparison of SLR and accelerometer solutions

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
