Abstrakt: NRLMSISE is an empirical model that allows us to predict temperatures and densities of the main atmospheric components. The model is widely used to evaluate atmospheric impacts on satellite orbits and laser beam refraction which come through the atmosphere, such as those used for Earth-satellite distance measurements. Model of the atmosphere is a valuable part of the Satellite Laser Ranging processing software like Kyiv Geodynamics (Juliette). Juliette is written in C++ and exploits the C++ clone of NRLMSISE written by the second author. The C++ version produces the same outputs as an official Fortran code. Accurate modeling of atmospheric influences on satellite motion requires performing numerous calculations along satellite orbits or laser beam paths, which are computationally intensive. By decreasing calculation time of NRLMSISE, we would not only save the modeling time but also give a prospect for a wider application of the model due to lowering computational resource demands. Our work demonstrates how the traditional NRLMSISE model can be effectively translated into a neural network. This conversion achieves significant performance gains on both CPU and GPU while maintaining acceptable accuracy when compared to the C++ implementation of NRLMSISE. We demonstrate the process of moving NRLMSISE to a neural network, the resulting accuracy, ease of running the trained model on CUDA-enabled GPUs, and the obtained boost of performance on both CPU and GPU.
