Precise Orbit Determination for Climate Applications of GNSS Radio Occultation including Uncertainty Estimation

Remote Sensing, 2020
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) is a highly valuable remote sensing technique for probing the Earth’s atmosphere, due to its global coverage, high accuracy, long-term stability, and essentially all-weather capability.

Preliminary Assessment of BDS Radio Occultation Retrieval Quality and Coverage Using FY-3E GNOS II Measurements

Remote Sensing, 2023
The FengYun-3E Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) occultation sounder II (FY-3E GNOS II) was launched on 5 July 2021. For the first time, based on the new GNOS II sensor, this mission realizes radio occultation (RO) and reflectometry observations ...

GNSS-RO LEO satellite orbit optimization for Egypt and the Middle East region

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020
The “Radio Occultation (RO)” method is one from the simple, accurate and high resolution methods that produces a complete atmosphere model. Each region/country optimizes a “Low Earth Orbiter (LEO)” satellite orbit that covers its climate requirements by processing the “Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)” received signal.

Impacts of GNSS RO Data on Typhoon Forecasts Using Global FV3GFS with GSI 4DEnVar

Atmosphere, 2023
The FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 satellites were launched in 2019, which can provide considerably larger amounts of radio occultation (RO) observations than the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC satellites. The radio signals emitted from the global navigation satellites system (GNSS) are received by these low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide the so-called bending angle ...

Beyond Geostrophic and Gradient Wind: Enhancing the Estimation of Climatic Wind Fields From Radio Occultation

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Wind approximations, such as geostrophic and gradient wind, are limited in their ability to accurately represent atmospheric conditions in the presence of significant planetary wave activity. Those approximations, while widely applied in synoptic‐scale wind field estimation, fail to capture the full complexity of atmospheric dynamics under ...

The potential of observing atmospheric rivers with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are comparatively narrow regions in the atmosphere that are responsible for most of the horizontal transport of water vapor in the extratropics, which are responsible for many extreme precipitation events and flooding at ...

Global Bottomside Ionospheric Modeling Based on GNSS‐RO Observations From the Tianmu‐1 Constellation

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Radio occultation (RO) observations provide a crucial means for estimating the global Vertical Bottomside Electron Content (VBEC) in the ionosphere. However, the limited number of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites in existing RO missions restricts the capability for high‐precision reconstruction of global VBEC spatiotemporal variations.
