     abstract = "{We present an updated study for thermosphere model assessment under
        geomagnetic storm conditions, defined when the geomagnetic index
        ap = 80 or larger. Comparisons between five empirical models,
        NRLMSISE-00, JB2008, and three versions of DTM2020, and CHAMP,
        GRACE, GOCE, Swarm-A, and GRACE-FO neutral density data sets for
        152 storms are presented. The storms are categorized according
        to ap, as single peak or multiple peaks. After applying a model
        debiasing procedure using the density data just before the onset
        of a storm, the models are on average only slightly biased,
        often only a few percent. This is an unexpected and reassuring
        result for these relatively simple models, which were fitted to
        different observations. The standard deviations of these
        averages are however up to 12\% (1-sigma), which places the
        small biases into perspective. The smallest biases are achieved
        at the lowest altitude when comparing with GOCE data, and the
        highest for GRACE. The best results, i.e. smallest bias and
        standard deviation on average over all single-peak storms, over
        the entire 4-Phase storm period are obtained with
        DTM2020\_Intermediate and DTM2020\_Research models, while the
        oldest model, NRLMSISE-00, is the least precise. However,
        NRLMSISE-00 is the least biased when compared to multiple-peak
        storms. As could be expected, multiple-peak storms are
        reproduced with less precision than single-peak storms. The
        assessment reveals that model precision decreases with altitude,
        but that bias is independent of altitude, at least in the range
        covered by the data, 250{\textendash}550 km.}",
