Global | tentative | 2013-10-01 | ICTSW (T. Onsager) | Note: the requirement on uncertainty varies considerably with phase of the solar cycle as the atmospheric temperature in the high thermosphere varies. The threshold value of uncertainty is approximately 140 K during solar maximum and 70 K during solar minimum. |
