Abstract Atmospheric densities from ESA’s GOCE satellite at a mean altitude of 270km are validated by comparison with predictions from the near real time model HASDM along the GOCE orbit in the time frame 1 November 2009 through 31 May 2012. Except for a scale factor of 1.29, which is due to different aerodynamic models being used in HASDM and GOCE, the agreement is at the 3% (standard deviation) level when comparing daily averages. The models NRLMSISE-00, JB2008 and DTM2012 are compared with the GOCE data. They match at the 10% level, but significant latitude-dependent errors as well as errors with semiannual periodicity are detected. Using the 0.1Hz sampled data leads to much larger differences locally, and this dataset can be used presently to analyze variations down to scales as small as 150km.
