Improving estimates of the ionosphere during geomagnetic storm conditions through assimilation of thermospheric mass density

Swarm A/B/C neutral mass density normalized to 400 km to be assimilated by the CTIPe physics based model coupled with the thermosphere ionosphere data assimilation scheme (TIDA). Swarm-A is assimilated and B/C are used for validation purposes. The selected period is March 2015 that contains the St. Patrick's Day storm 2015 between 16-18 of that month
