Model-data comparison during 05:00–13:00 UT on August 24, 2005. (a) IMF (blue) and solar wind dynamic pressure (green), (b) CHAMP thermospheric mass densities (red) compared with the model results from CTIPe (blue) and OpenGGCM-CTIM (green), (c) CHAMP magnetic latitude (blue) and magnetic local time (green), (d) GRACE thermospheric mass densities (red) compared with the model results from CTIPe (blue) and OpenGGCM-CTIM (green), and (e) GRACE magnetic latitude (blue) and magnetic local time (green). The magenta and black markers point to the density peaks during the strong P_sw period and the storm time, respectively.
