An Evaluation of Fengyun-3C Radio Occultation Atmospheric Profiles Over 2015–2018

Remote Sensing, 2020
Fengyun-3C (FY-3C) is the first Chinese satellite that is capable of using the Radio Occultation (RO) technique to retrieve atmospheric profiles. This research evaluates the quality of FY-3C RO profiles including refractivity, temperature, and specific ...

A Unified Vector Electromagnetic Framework for Ionospheric Scintillation and Polarization Effects in GNSS

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The ionosphere imposes coupled amplitude, phase, and polarization distortions on trans‐ionospheric Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, reflecting the structure and dynamics of electron‐density irregularities. Classical weak‐scatter theory provides a mature framework for interpreting amplitude and phase scintillation, but these ...

First Results of Airborne GNSS Radio Occultation Sounding From Airbus Commercial Aircraft

Geophysical Research Letters
The lack of high vertical resolution atmospheric thermodynamic structure observations inside or near major weather events impedes our understanding of physical processes and their predictability in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models.

Calibration and Fusion of GOLD‐Inferred TEC Data With Ground‐Based TEC

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ground‐based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers provide primary total electron content (TEC) measurements used to monitor ionospheric variability, yet their sparse distribution over oceanic and equatorial regions limits global coverage and model accuracy.

Principles of variational assimilation of GNSS radio occultation data

, 2003
The standard processing of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based refractometric data performed by means of a space-borne GPS-receiver was based on the approximate derivation of the local vertical profiles of the atmospheric refractivity by means of the Abel transform.

A First Attempt at Reconstructing FengYun‐4B Stratified Precipitable Water Using GNSS

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Layer Precipitable Water (LPW) characterizes the vertical structure of atmospheric moisture and is essential for accurate weather forecasts. China's FY‐4B satellite delivers near‐real‐time LPW products, but is constrained by large uncertainties.

Forward operator for polarimetric radio occultation measurements [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) polarimetric radio occultation (PRO) observations sense the presence of hydrometeor particles along the ray path by measuring the difference of excess phases in horizontally and vertically polarised carrier waves.

Attributing Upper‐Tropospheric Warm Biases in CMIP6 Models to Ice Cloud‐Radiation Interaction Deficiencies Over Tropical Oceans

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract We assess the impact of hydrometeor radiative effects on tropical and subtropical Pacific air temperature anomalies (TAA) using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) model simulations and satellite data. CMIP6 models are grouped by their treatment of frozen hydrometeors: SON2 (explicit cloud and falling ice), SON1 (simplified),

Sub‐Seasonal Impact of GNSS Radio Occultation Data

Geophysical Research Letters
Abstract This study investigates for the first time whether the assimilation of the Global Navigation Satellite System Radio occultation (GNSS‐RO) data has a significant impact on the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts sub‐seasonal forecasts.

Climatic Higher‐Order Balanced Winds Beyond Geostrophic and Gradient Wind Fields

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We present a novel approach to derive three‐dimensional Climatic Higher‐Order Balanced (CHOB) wind fields from thermodynamic state variables in the free troposphere and stratosphere. The CHOB method is developed for monthly synoptic‐scale wind field estimation, utilizing commonly used balanced winds (geostrophic and gradient wind) enhanced by ...
