Scientific paper
An atmospheric model which allows for oblateness and whose density profile approximates observed day-to-night variation is used in the present consideration of the effect of upper atmosphere motion on small eccentricity satellite orbits. The equations governing changes due to constant zonal (west-to-east) and meridional (south-to-north) winds in the orbital inclination during one anomalistic period of the satellite are integrated, under the assumption that the density scale height is constant. An equivalence is demonstrated between the variable- and constant-scale height equations for the case of the expression derived for zonal winds.
