Sensing Heavy Precipitation With GNSS Polarimetric Radio Occultations [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractThis study presents, for the first time ever, occulting signals of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) acquired at two polarizations from a Low Earth Orbiter, and it shows that they sense heavy precipitation. The data sets are obtained from early stages of the Radio Occultation and Heavy Precipitation experiment aboard the PAZ ...

Commercial GNSS Radio Occultation on Aerial Platforms With Off-The-Shelf Receivers
Navigation, 2022 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.

Determination of Tropical Belt Widening Using Multiple GNSS Radio Occultation Measurements [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 Abstract. In the last decades, Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have provided an exceptional opportunity to retrieve atmospheric parameters globally through GNSS radio occultation (GNSS-RO). In this paper, data of 12 GNSS-RO missions from June 2001 to November 2020 with high resolution were used to investigate the possible widening of the ...
