Editing NRLMSISE-00 (section)

==Development==
The model, developed by Mike Picone, Alan Hedin, and Doug Drob, is based on the earlier models MSIS-86 and MSISE-90, but updated with actual satellite drag data. It also predicts [[anomalous oxygen]].

''NRL'' stands for the [[US Naval Research Laboratory]]. MSIS<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85741076&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch|title=Trademark Status & Document Retrieval|website=tsdr.uspto.gov|language=en|access-date=2017-02-10}}</ref> stands for mass spectrometer and incoherent scatter radar, the two primary data sources for development of earlier versions of the model. ''E'' indicates that the model extends from the ground through [[exosphere]] and ''00'' is the year of release.

Over the years since introduction, NRLMSISE-00 has become the standard for international space research.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nrl.navy.mil/ssd/branches/7630/modeling-upper-atmosphere|title=Empirical Modeling of the Upper Atmosphere: NRLMSISE-00, HWM07, and G2S|website=www.nrl.navy.mil|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161211130429/https://www.nrl.navy.mil/ssd/branches/7630/modeling-upper-atmosphere|access-date=2019-11-24|archive-date=2016-12-11}}</ref>
