MSIS Options Overview#

High-level visualization of MSIS option effects across multiple dimensions. These examples provide comparative analysis showing how different options affect atmospheric structure and help identify which options have the most significant impacts under various conditions.

Individual Option Analysis#

Comprehensive analysis for each of the 14 main MSIS options. Each example provides detailed physical explanations and multi-dimensional visualization showing how turning OFF a specific option affects atmospheric density across altitude, geography, and time.

Each analysis includes:

  • Altitude profiles: Seasonal and diurnal effects from 100-500 km

  • Geographic maps: Global latitude vs longitude patterns at 300 km

  • Diurnal cycles: 24-hour variations at a fixed location

  • Seasonal cycles: Annual variations throughout the year
