Remote sensing of tropospheric turbulence using GPS radio occultation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Radio occultation (RO) measurements are sensitive to the small-scale irregularities in the atmosphere. In this study, we present a new technique to estimate tropospheric turbulence strength (namely, scintillation index) by analyzing RO amplitude ...

Approaches for Retrieving Sulfur Species Abundances from Dual X/Ka Band Radio Occultations of Venus with EnVision and VERITAS [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The EnVision and VERITAS missions to Venus will fly with X and Ka band telecommunications channels which can be used to conduct radio occultation studies of Venus' atmosphere. While link attenuation measurements during prior S and X band occultation experiments have been used to determine vertical profiles of H$_2$SO$_4$ vapor abundance, the addition ...

Global morphology of ionospheric sporadic E layer from the FormoSat-3/COSMIC GPS radio occultation experiment

open access: yesGPS Solutions, 2018
Ionospheric sporadic-E (Es) activity and global morphology were studied using the 50 Hz signal-to-noise ratio amplitude and excess phase measurements from the FormoSat-3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (FS3/COSMIC ...

Radio interferometric observation of an asteroid occultation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The occultation of the radio galaxy 0141+268 by the asteroid (372) Palma on 2017 May 15 was observed using six antennas of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). The shadow of Palma crossed the VLBA station at Brewster, Washington. Owing to the wavelength used, and the size and the distance of the asteroid, a diffraction pattern in the Fraunhofer regime ...

Interior Models of Saturn: Including the Uncertainties in Shape and Rotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The accurate determination of Saturn's gravitational coefficients by Cassini could provide tighter constrains on Saturn's internal structure. Also, occultation measurements provide important information on the planetary shape which is often not ...

Evaluation of the 15-year ROM SAF monthly mean GPS radio occultation climate data record

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019
. We here present results from an evaluation of the Radio Occultation Meteorology Satellite Application Facility (ROM SAF) gridded monthly mean climate data record (CDR v1.0), based on Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) data from the ...

A procedure to analyze nonlinear density waves in Saturn's rings using several occultation profiles [PDF]

open access: yesIcarus, 199, 154-173 (2009), 2010
Cassini radio science experiments have provided multiple occultation optical depth profiles of Saturn's rings that can be used in combination to analyze density waves. This paper establishes an accurate procedure of inversion of the wave profiles to reconstruct the wave kinematic parameters as a function of semi-major axis, in the nonlinear regime ...

Electron density retrieval from truncated Radio Occultation GNSS data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper summarizes the definition and validation of two complementary new strategies, to invert incomplete Global Navigation Satellite System Radio-Occultation (RO) ionospheric measurements, such as the ones to be provided by the future EUMETSAT Polar
