Assessment of Commercial GNSS Radio Occultation Performance from PlanetiQ Mission
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) provides valuable 3-D atmospheric profiles with all-weather, all the time and high accuracy. However, GNSS RO mission data are still limited for global coverage.

Assessment of ZTD Derived from COSMIC Occultation Data with ECWMF, Radiosondes, and GNSS [PDF]
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals generate slant tropospheric delays when they pass through the atmosphere, which is recognized as the main source of error in many spatial geodetic applications. The zenith tropospheric delay (ZTD) derived

Stability of CubeSat Clocks and Their Impacts on GNSS Radio Occultation [PDF]
Global Navigation Satellite Systems’ radio occultation (GNSS-RO) provides the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere (UTLS) vertical atmospheric profiles that are complementing radiosonde and reanalysis data. Such data are employed in the numerical weather prediction (NWP) models used to forecast global weather as well as in climate change studies ...

Real-Time Tomographic Inversion of Truncated Ionospheric GNSS Radio Occultations
This paper presents a new way of combining Abel inversion and the Chapman model with a linearly increasing scale height to retrieve ionospheric electron density vertical profiles from truncated-sounding radio-occultation data. A linear Vary–Chap model is

Experimental Validation of GNSS Interferometric Radio Occultation [PDF]
In this work, we present experimental results on the interferometric radio occultation (iRO) signal processing techniques, and compare the performance to the closed-loop and open-loop processing used in conventional radio occultation measurements. We also discuss the effects of antenna beam width to mitigate inter-satellite interferences, as well as ...

Probability of intense precipitation from polarimetric GNSS radio occultation observations. [PDF]
There is currently a gap in satellite observations of the moisture structure during heavy precipitation conditions, since infrared and microwave sounders cannot sense water‐vapour structure near the surface in the presence of intense precipitation. Conversely, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultations (RO) can profile the moisture ...

The power of vertical geolocation of atmospheric profiles from GNSS radio occultation. [PDF]
AbstractHigh‐resolution measurements from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) provide atmospheric profiles with independent information on altitude and pressure. This unique property is of crucial advantage when analyzing atmospheric characteristics that require joint knowledge of altitude and pressure or other ...
