Space 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 کاملAssimilation of GPS Radio Occultation Data for Numerical Weather Prediction
With the availability of approximately 4,000 radio occultation soundings per day within three hours of observation, COSMIC has the potential to contribute significantly to global and regional weather analysis and prediction. However, the basic radio occultation measurements (phase delays) are very different from traditional meteorological measurements (i.e., temperature, water vapor), and to ef...
متن کاملSolar Radio Bursts and Space Weather
Space Weather is the study of the conditions in the solar wind that can affect life on the surface of the Earth, particularly the increasingly technologically sophisticated devices that are part of modern life. Solar radio observations are relevant to such phenomena because they generally originate as events in the solar atmosphere, including flares, coronal mass ejections and shocks, that prod...
متن کاملWeather and Climate Forecasting
The Biblical quotation above is an ancient example of attempting to make meteorological predictions based on empirical observations. The idea it contains tends to work as a forecasting scheme, and it has been expressed in many different ways in the subsequent 2,000 years. it is one of many sayings and rhymes of folklore that provide a qualitative description of the weather. In the 17th century,...
متن کاملSpace weather driven changes in lower atmosphere phenomena
6 During a period of heliospheric disturbance in 2007-9 associated with a co-rotating interaction 7 region (CIR), a characteristic periodic variation becomes apparent in neutron monitor data. This 8 variation is phase locked to periodic heliospheric current sheet crossings. Phase-locked electrical 9 variations are also seen in the terrestrial lower atmosphere in the southern UK, including an in...
