Scientific paper

Neutral-density gauge measurements in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere yield information on the ambient conditions, including flow, temperature, and density. Relative fluctuations are also be used as a passive tracer of turbulent fluctuations. Several such measurements have been made in the altitude range of 80-140 km on rockets using multiple sensors, a technique which has the advantage of enabling the flow at supersonic Mach numbers to be understood. Analytical and simulation tools are used to interpret the measurements as they span the regimes of continuum, transition, and free-molecular flow. Results and comparisons to complementary measurements are made.
