A simplified approach for generating GNSS radio occultation refractivity climatologies [PDF]
The possibility of simplifying the retrieval scheme required to produce GNSS radio occultation refractivity climatologies is investigated. In a new, simplified retrieval approach, the main statistical analysis is performed in bending angle space and an ...

Analysis of reflections in GNSS radio occultation measurements using the phase matching amplitude [PDF]
It is well-known that in the presence of super-refractive layers in the lower-tropospheric inversion of GNSS radio occultation (RO) measurements using the Abel transform yields biased refractivity profiles. As such it is problematic to reconstruct the

Global tropopause height determination using GNSS radio occultation
The tropopause layer is a crucial stratum of the earth's atmosphere that attracts more interest from climate and atmospheric researchers. The observables of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) allow for continuous and long-term research of the ...

Monitoring global climate change using GNSS radio occultation
The emerging signal of climate change is now clearly evident in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) data, matching predictions made by climate models 15 years ago. The observed RO trends represent well-understood responses to

Commercial GNSS Radio Occultation on Aerial Platforms With Off-The-Shelf Receivers
In recent decades, GNSS radio occultation (RO) soundings have proven to be an invaluable input to global weather forecasting. The success of government programs such as COSMIC is now complemented by commercial low-cost cubesats.

Ionospheric bending correction for GNSS radio occultation signals [PDF]
Ionospheric propagation effects on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals are the most pronounced during radio occultation due to long ionospheric travel paths of the received signal on low Earth orbiting satellites. Inhomogeneous plasma distribution and anisotropy cause higher‐order nonlinear refraction effects on GNSS signals which cannot
