Orographic and convective gravity waves above the Alps and Andes mountains during GPS radio occultation events – a case study [PDF]
The significant distortions introduced in the measured atmospheric gravity wavelengths by soundings other than in vertical and horizontal directions, are discussed as a function of elevation angle of the sounding path and the gravity waves aspect ratio ...

Limb Sounders Tracking Tsunami-Induced Perturbations from the Stratosphere to the Ionosphere
In this study, we employ three types of satellite data from two different limb sounders: the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (F3/C) radio occultation (RO) technique and the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument to study the ...
