NGIMS Measurements of Neutrals During One Orbit

Detailed measurements of neutrals during one pass of the MAVEN spacecraft through low altitudes (down to about 170 km). The data show that the ratio of species to each other changes with altitude, and also show that there is significant structure that is likely due to dynamical phenomena such as waves and upper-atmospheric weather.
