Analysing the Zenith Tropospheric Delay Estimates in On-line Precise Point Positioning (PPP) Services and PPP Software Packages [PDF]
As Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals travel through the troposphere, a tropospheric delay occurs due to a change in the refractive index of the medium.

Evaluation of E Layer Dominated Ionosphere Events Using COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 and CHAMP Ionospheric Radio Occultation Data [PDF]
At certain geographic locations, especially in the polar regions, the ionization of the ionospheric E layer can dominate over that of the F2 layer. The associated electron density profiles show their ionization maximum at E layer heights between 80 and ...

Kinematic ZTD Estimation from Train-Borne Single-Frequency GNSS: Validation and Assimilation
Water vapour is one of the most important parameters utilized for the description of state and evolution of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is the most effective greenhouse gas and shows high variability, both in space and time.

Remote sensing of tropospheric turbulence using GPS radio occultation [PDF]
Radio occultation (RO) measurements are sensitive to the small-scale irregularities in the atmosphere. In this study, we present a new technique to estimate tropospheric turbulence strength (namely, scintillation index) by analyzing RO amplitude ...
