Assessment of ZTD Derived from COSMIC Occultation Data with ECWMF, Radiosondes, and GNSS [PDF]
Sensors, 2022 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

Generation of a bending angle radio occultation climatology (BAROCLIM) and its use in radio occultation retrievals [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 In this paper, we introduce a bending angle radio occultation climatology (BAROCLIM) based on Formosat-3/COSMIC (F3C) data. This climatology represents the monthly-mean atmospheric state from 2006 to 2012.

Retrieval of the Stratospheric Density by the Star Occultation
Aerospace, 2023 The navigation by the stellar refraction is important for a LEO (Low-Earth-Orbit) satellite, especially in a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-denied environment, since it is totally autonomous.
