Characterizing orbit uncertainty due to atmospheric uncertainty /

In orbit prediction, there exists a need for accurate estimates of the accuracy of a prediction, i.e. the covariance. An accurate covariance is required for any number of purposes but, in particular, for probability of collision analysis. An inaccurate drag model, the primary error in dynamic models...
