What is it about?
In the study, neutral mass density observations from Swarm-A satellite are assimilated into the physics-based Coupled Thermosphere Ionosphere Plasmasphere electrodynamics model during the 2015 St. Patricks Day storm. The research evaluates the impact of the assimilation on the ionospheric state estimation.

Why is it important?
The paper demonstrates that the assimilation of neutral density measurements into a physics-based model during a major storm event is not only capable of correcting the thermosphere, but also of improving the global electron density estimates.
