Comparison of accelerometer data calibration methods used in thermospheric neutral density estimation by K. Vielberg, E. Forootan, E. Forootan, C. Lück, A. Löcher, J. Kusche, K. Börger

“…Our results indicate that these corrections improve model-based density simulations in order to provide density estimates at locations outside the vicinity of the GRACE satellites, in particular during the period of high solar/magnetic activity, e.g., during the St. Patrick's Day storm on 17 March 2015.…”

From the Sun to Earth: effects of the 25 August 2018 geomagnetic storm by M. Piersanti, P. De Michelis, D. Del Moro, R. Tozzi, M. Pezzopane, G. Consolini, M. F. Marcucci, M. Laurenza, S. Di Matteo, A. Pignalberi, V. Quattrociocchi, V. Quattrociocchi, P. Diego

“…On the contrary, the GIC hazard was found to be potentially more dangerous than other past, more powerful solar events, such as the 2015 St Patrick's Day geomagnetic storm, especially at latitudes higher than <span class="inline-formula">60^∘</span> in the European sector.…”

Improving estimates of the ionosphere during geomagnetic storm conditions through assimilation of thermospheric mass density by Isabel Fernandez-Gomez, Timothy Kodikara, Claudia Borries, Ehsan Forootan, Andreas Goss, Michael Schmidt, Mihail V. Codrescu

“…The results are presented for a case study during the St. Patricks Day storm 2015. It is shown that the TMD data assimilation generates an improvement of the model’s thermosphere density of up to 40% (measured along the orbit of the non-assimilated Swarm satellites). …”
