Journal ArticleDOI
Observing Earth's atmosphere with radio occultation measurements using the Global Positioning System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first systematic, extensive error analysis of the spacecraft radio occultation technique using a combination of analytical and simulation methods to establish a baseline accuracy for retrieved profiles of refractivity, geopotential, and temperature.
The application of spaceborne GPS to atmospheric limb sounding and global change monitoring
William G. Melbourne,E. S. Davis,C. B. Duncan,G. A. Hajj,K. R. Hardy,E. R. Kursinski,Thomas K. Meehan,L. E. Young,T. P. Yunck +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a relatively comprehensive treatment of the mission and technical aspects of an Earth-orbiting radio occultation satellite, which can be used to recover profiles of the Earth's atmospheric refractivity, pressure, and temperature using small, dedicated and relatively low-cost space systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
CHAMP and SAC-C atmospheric occultation results and intercomparisons
George A. Hajj,Chi O. Ao,Byron Iijima,Da Kuang,E. R. Kursinski,Anthony J. Mannucci,T. K. Meehan,Larry Romans,M. de la Torre Juarez,T. P. Yunck +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the accuracy of the German Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) and the Argentine Satelite de Aplicaciones Cientificas-C (SAC-C) Earth science missions for radio occultation sounding of the ionosphere and neutral atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of structural uncertainty in climate data records from GPS radio occultation
Andrea K. Steiner,Andrea K. Steiner,Douglas Hunt,Shu-peng Ho,Gottfried Kirchengast,Anthony J. Mannucci,Barbara Scherllin-Pirscher,Barbara Scherllin-Pirscher,Hans Gleisner,A. von Engeln,Torsten Schmidt,Chi O. Ao,Stephen S. Leroy,E. R. Kursinski,Ulrich Foelsche,Michael E. Gorbunov,Stefan Heise,Ying-Hwa Kuo,Kent B. Lauritsen,C. Marquardt,C. Rocken,William Schreiner,Sergey Sokolovskiy,Stig Syndergaard,Jens Wickert +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural uncertainty of atmospheric trends estimated from the radio occultation (RO) record is quantified from current processing schemes of six international RO processing centers, DMI Copenhagen, EUM Darmstadt, GFZ Potsdam, JPL Pasadena, UCAR Boulder, and WEGC Graz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproducibility of GPS radio occultation data for climate monitoring: Profile-to-profile inter-comparison of CHAMP climate records 2002 to 2008 from six data centers
Shu-peng Ho,Doug Hunt,Andrea K. Steiner,Anthony J. Mannucci,Gottfried Kirchengast,Hans Gleisner,Stefan Heise,Axel von Engeln,C. Marquardt,Sergey Sokolovskiy,William Schreiner,Barbara Scherllin-Pirscher,Chi Ao,Jens Wickert,Stig Syndergaard,Kent B. Lauritsen,Stephen S. Leroy,E. R. Kursinski,Ying-Hwa Kuo,Ulrich Foelsche,Torsten Schmidt,Michael E. Gorbunov,Michael E. Gorbunov +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural uncertainties of retrieved profiles that result from different processing methods are quantified and differences and standard deviations of the individual centers relative to the inter-center mean are used to quantify the structural uncertainty.
