Near Real‐Time Global Plasma Irregularity Monitoring by FORMOSAT‐7/COSMIC‐2
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2021AbstractThis study presents initial results of the ionospheric scintillation in the F layer using the S4 index derived from the radio occultation experiment (RO‐S4) on FORMOSAT‐7/COSMIC‐2 (F7/C2). With the sufficiently dense RO‐S4 observations at low latitudes, it is possible to construct hourly, global scintillation maps to monitor equatorial plasma ...

Vertical Atmospheric Structures Associated with Positive Biases in COSMIC-2 Refractivity Retrievals
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2022Abstract Representation of complex vertical structures observed in the troposphere can vary depending on data sources. The radio occultation (RO) technique offers great advantages for sensing the atmosphere down to its lowermost layers using high-resolution measurements collected by satellites on low-Earth orbit (LEO).

Equatorial Ionospheric Irregularities Observed by COSMIC 2 and GOLD Missions
2021<p>Equatorial ionospheric irregularities is an important space weather phenomenon, which can disrupt GNSS and communication systems. COSMIC 2 GNSS RO observations are affected via scintillations in signal amplitudes and phases. At the same time, we can use these scintillations to monitor and geolocate the ionospheric irregularities, which

The Impact of Assimilating COSMIC‐2 Observations of Electron Density in WACCMX
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2022AbstractThe present study investigates the impact of assimilating electron density profiles from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate‐2 (COSMIC‐2) mission in a whole atmosphere data assimilation system. The observations are assimilated into the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere‐ionosphere ...

Characteristics of ionospheric wavenumber structures in COSMIC-2 RO observations
2023High-rate radio occultation (RO) in COSMIC2 (FORMOSAT7) enables us to investigate the continuous variability of the ionosphere at a Spatio-temporal resolution which was unthinkable a few decades ago. We present unique characteristics of ionospheric wavenumber structures observed using COSMIC2 RO data, not reported before.

Recent Impact of COSMIC-2 with Improved Radio Occultation Data Assimilation Algorithms
Weather and Forecasting, 2023Abstract A Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) follow-on constellation, COSMIC-2, was successfully launched into equatorial orbit on 24 June 2019. With an increased signal-to-noise ratio due to improved receivers and digital beam-steering antennas, COSMIC-2 is producing about 5000 high-quality radio ...
