It is based on mass spectrometry and incoherent radar scatter data, also incorporates drag and accelerometer data, and accounts for anomalous oxygen at high altitudes(>500 km). It is recommended by the International Committee on Space Resarch (COSPAR) as the standard for atmospheric composition. Two indices are used in this model: *F10.7* (both the daily solar flux value of the previous day and the 81-day average centred on the input day) and $A_p$ (geomagnetic daily value). +The **NRLMSISE-00** model was developed by the US Naval Research Laboratory.

The **JB2008** (Jacchia-Bowman) model is a newer model developed by Space Environment Technologies(SET) and the US Air Force Space Command. The model accounts for various phenomena related to EUV heating of the thermosphere and uses the DST index as the driver of global density changes. The model is complementary to the NRLMSISE00 model and is more accurate during times of high solar activity and geomagnetic storms. It is recommended by COSPAR as the standard for thermospheric density in satellite drag calculations. Four solar indices and two geomagnetic activity indices are used in this model: *F10.7* (both tabular value one day earlier and the 81-day average centred on the input time); *S10.7* (both tabular value one day earlier and the 81-day average centred on the input time); *M10.7* (both tabular value five days earlier and the 81-day average centred on the input time); Y10.7 (both tabular value five days earlier and the 81-day average centred on the input time); $a_p$ (3 hour tabular value); and *DST* (converted and input as a dTc temperature change tabular value on the input time).
