GPS Radio Occultation with CHAMP [PDF]
The GPS (Global Positioning System) radio occultation experiment onboard the German CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload) satellite was activated in February 2001. By the end of 2001 about 36,500 occultations were recorded. We review the occultation data processing at the GFZ and discuss selected first results.

Radio Occultation Exploration of Mars [PDF]
The radio occultation technique, consisting of the observation of changes in the phase, frequency, and amplitude of a radio signal from a spacecraft as it passes through the atmosphere of a planet before and after occultation, was first applied to measure the atmosphere of Mars with the Mariner IV spacecraft in 1965. The interpretation of these changes

Determination of uncertainty profiles in neutral atmospheric properties measured by radio occultation experiments [PDF]
Radio occultations are commonly used to assess remotely the thermodynamic properties of planets or satellites' atmospheres within the solar system. The data processing usually involves the so-called Abel inversion method or the numerical ray-tracing technique.
