Assimilation of GNSS radio occultation observations in GRAPES
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 tuning of observation error, and the results of the obser...
متن کاملThe Assimilation of Radio Occultation Measurements
GPS radio occultation (RO) measurements are a potentially important new source of profile information that can be used in numerical weather prediction (NWP). This paper outlines the options for assimilating the RO measurements into an operational NWP system. The importance of realistic estimates for the observation error estimates is discussed.
متن کاملAtmospheric sounding by GNSS radio occultation: An analysis of the negative refractivity bias using CHAMP observations
Validation studies of current GPS radio occultation experiments using meteorological analyses consistently report on a negative refractivity bias in the lower troposphere. It is shown that refractivity profiles obtained from Doppler-inverted bending angle profiles not only deviate significantly within zones of multipath propagation but also depend on the selected end point of the occultation si...
متن کاملSpace Weather Observations by GNSS Radio Occultation: From FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC to FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2
The joint Taiwan-United States FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate) mission, hereafter called COSMIC, is the first satellite constellation dedicated to remotely sense Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere using a technique called Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO). The occultations yield abundant information about neutral at...
متن کاملLAGRANGE RO: A GNSS Receiver for Radio Occultation
A GPS Radio Occultation occurs when a transmitting GPS satellite, setting or rising behind the Earth limb, is viewed by a LEO satellite that carries on board a space-qualified GPS receiver. In this way, it is provided a vertical sounding of the atmosphere exploiting the relative motion between the GPS and the LEO satellites. The technique proved to be particularly precise in retrieving temperat...
