GNSS Radio Occultation in Advanced Numerical Weather Prediction Models
GPS-Radio Occultation (GPS-RO), and generally, Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation (GNSS-RO), is a technique that measures the refractivity of the Earth's atmosphere as a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite listens to the radio signal of a ...

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

Estimation of refractivity uncertainties and vertical error correlations in collocated radio occultations, radiosondes, and model forecasts [PDF]
Random uncertainties and vertical error correlations are estimated for three independent data sets. The three collocated data sets are (1) refractivity profiles of radio occultation measurements retrieved from the Metop-A and B and COSMIC-1 missions, (2)

Retrieval of the Stratospheric Density by the Star Occultation
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.

High-order ionospheric effects on electron density estimation from Fengyun-3C GPS radio occultation [PDF]
GPS radio occultation can estimate ionospheric electron density and total electron content (TEC) with high spatial resolution, e.g., China's recent Fengyun-3C GPS radio occultation. However, high-order ionospheric delays are normally ignored.
