Simulation studies of GPS radio occultation measurements

open access: yesRadio Science, 2003
The atmospheric propagation of GPS signals under multipath conditions and their detection are simulated. Using the multiple phase screen method, C/A‐code modulated L1 signals are propagated through a spherically symmetric refractivity field derived from a high‐resolution radio sonde observation.

Occultation of Radio Sources for the Linkage of Radio and Stellar Reference Frames [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
The right ascension of the radio source 3C273B, which serves as a right ascension zero point in radio astrometric work, has been determined from lunar occultations and photographic observations.We re-analyze here the lunar occultations of 3C273B using the recent precise lunar ephemeris and obtain its right ascension referred to the FK5 equinox at J2000.

Comparison of Different Neural Network Approaches for the Tropospheric Profiling over the Inter-tropical lands Using GPS Radio Occultation Data

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2009
In this study different approaches based on multilayer perceptron neural networks are proposed and evaluated with the aim to retrieve tropospheric profiles by using GPS radio occultation data.

Preliminary validation of the refractivity from the new radio occultation sounder GNOS/FY-3C [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2016
As a new member of the space-based radio occultation sounders, the GNOS (Global Navigation Satellite System Occultation Sounder) mounted on Fengyun-3C (FY-3C) has been carrying out atmospheric sounding since 23 September 2013.

The Road to Quasars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although the extragalactic nature of 3C 48 and other quasi stellar radio sources was discussed as early as 1960 by John Bolton and others, it was rejected largely because of preconceived ideas about what appeared to be unrealistically high radio and optical luminosities. Not until the 1962 occultations of the strong radio source 3C 273 at Parkes, which

Forthcoming mutual events of planets and astrometric radio sources [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of Applied Astronomy, 2012, Vol. 26, pp. 39-43, 2013
Radio astronomy observations of close approaches of the Solar system planets to compact radio sources as well as radio source occultations by planets may be of large interest for planetary sciences, dynamical astronomy, and testing gravity theories. In this paper, we present extended lists of occultations of astrometric radio sources observed in the ...

Initial performance of the radio occultation experiment in the Venus orbiter mission Akatsuki

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2017
After the arrival of Akatsuki spacecraft of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency at Venus in December 2015, the radio occultation experiment, termed RS (Radio Science), obtained 19 vertical profiles of the Venusian atmosphere by April 2017.

Ooty Occultations of 76 radio sources

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1974
Positional and structural information derived from lunar occultations observed at 327 MHz is presented for 76 radio sources, most of them of flux density less than 2×10 -26 Wm -2 Hz -1 . Only 16 sources are optically identified. Two of the stronger sources in the list, viz. PKS 1417-19 and MSH 16-205 have a head-tail type of radio structure.

Analysis of the differences between GPS radio occultation and radiosonde atmosphere profiles in Egypt

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2022
Difference values between Global Positioning System (GPS)-Radio Occultation (RO) and radiosonde (RS) profiles are analyzed to assess the integration applicability between them in Egypt.
