Evaluation of Forward Models for GNSS Radio Occultation Data Processing and Assimilation [PDF]
In radio occultation (RO) data processing and data assimilation, the forward model (FM) is used to calculate bending angle (BA) from refractivity (N). The accuracy and precision of forward modeled BA are affected by refractivity profiles and FM methods, including Abel integral algorithms (direct, exp, exp_T, linear) and methods of interpolating ...
