| Zusammenfassung |
| The launch of the proof-of-concept mission GPS/MET (Global Positioning
System/Meteorology) in 1995 began a revolution in profiling Earth's
atmosphere through radio occultation (RO). GPS/MET; subsequent
single-satellite missions CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload), SAC-C
(Satellite de Aplicaciones Cientificas-C), GRACE (Gravity Recovery and
Climate Experiment), METOP-A, and TerraSAR-X (Beyerle et al., 2010); and the
six-satellite constellation, FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (Formosa Satellite mission
{#}3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and
Climate) have proven the theoretical capabilities of RO to provide accurate
and precise profiles of electron density in the ionosphere and refractivity,
containing information on temperature and water vapor, in the stratosphere
and troposphere. This paper summarizes results from these RO missions and
the applications of RO observations to atmospheric research and operational
weather analysis and prediction. |
