Progress of radio occultation exploration of Mars

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评
Mars is the sister star of Earth. Studying Mars is important to understand its evolution as well as that of Earth and even the solar system. Since the launch of American Mariner 4 in 1964 and the first successful use of radio occultation technology to ...

Assimilation of GNSS radio occultation observations in GRAPES [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2014
Abstract. This paper reviews the development of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) observations assimilation in the Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System (GRAPES) of China Meteorological Administration, including the choice of data to assimilate, the data quality control, the observation operator, the ...

Forthcoming Close Angular Approaches of Planets to Radio Sources and Possibilities to Use Them as GR Tests [PDF]

open access: yesSolar System Research, 2009, Vol. 43, No. 4, pp. 313-318, 2009
During close angular approaches of solar system planets to astrometric radio sources, the apparent positions of these sources shift due to relativistic effects and, thus, these events may be used for testing the theory of general relativity; this fact was successfully demonstrated in the experiments on the measurements of radio source position shifts ...

Consistency and structural uncertainty of multi-mission GPS radio occultation records

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019
. Atmospheric climate monitoring requires observations of high quality that conform to the criteria of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Radio occultation (RO) data based on Global Positioning System (GPS) signals are available since 2001 from ...

Occultation observation to probe the turbulence scale size in the plasma tail of comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3-B [PDF]

open access: yes2007, ApJ, 668, L67, 2007
We present the occultation observation of compact radio source B0019-000 through the plasma tail of comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3-B. The observation was made with the Ooty Radio Telescope at 326.5 MHz on 2006 May 26, when the plasma tail of the comet was in front of this source.

GPS Radio Occultation Method for Ionosphere TEC Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yesفصلنامه علوم و فناوری فضایی, 2013
In this paper GPS radio occultation has been introduced as a way to extract the electron density of the ionosphere. A GPS radio occultation occurs when a receiver on-board a LEO spacecraft tracks a GPS satellite as it sets or rises through the earth’s ...

A simplified approach for generating GNSS radio occultation refractivity climatologies [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2013
The possibility of simplifying the retrieval scheme required to produce GNSS radio occultation refractivity climatologies is investigated. In a new, simplified retrieval approach, the main statistical analysis is performed in bending angle space and an ...

The GPS Radio Occultation Technique

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2000
Radio occultation observations represent a planetary-scale optics experiment in which the atmosphere acts as a lens and alters the propagation velocity and paths of microwave signals passing through it. In this paper we review the process of inverting the radio occultation observations acquired using the Global Positioning System (GPS) in order to ...

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 ...
