Atmospiieric Profiles from Radio Occultation Measurements of Gps Satellites
Atmospheric profiles can be retrieved with techniques utilizing measurements of the propagation delay of signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites observed by one or more receivers in low earth orbit. The. observations are made in a limb-sounding geometry when the radio path between the transmitter and receiver passes through the atmosphere. The various componen~s of the microwave...
متن کاملDeriving atmospheric water vapor and ozone profiles from active microwave occultation measurements
The GPS/MET experiment was the first active atmospheric microwave occultation experiment using the existing GPS L1 and L2 frequencies to measure the atmospheric refractive index. One major limitation to this technique is that the presence of water vapor in amounts typically found in the lower troposphere (below 5-7 km) causes an ambiguity between the contributions of dry air and moisture to the...
متن کاملSimulation studies of GPS radio occultation measurements
The atmospheric propagation of GPS signals under multipath conditions and their detection are simulated. Using the multiple phase screen method C/A-code modulated L1 signals are propagated through a spherically symmetric refractivity field derived from a high-resolution radio sonde observation. The propagated signals are tracked by GPS receivers implemented in software and converted to refracti...
متن کاملGPS Occultation Measurements with GPS/MET and CHAMP
First results from the GPS radio occultation experiment aboard the German CHAMP satellite are presented. The agreement between observed temperature profiles in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere and temperature profiles obtained from meteorological analyses is found to be below 1 K. The data processing and analysis system (operated by GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam) has been success...
متن کاملControls of the sounding points in space-based GPS=LEO meteorology
GPS radio occultation technique has been developed resulting from remote sensing applications in planetary atmospheric limb sounding pioneered by JPL and Stanford University in 1960s. Since the launch of the experimental satellite MicroLab1 on April 3 1995, the primary results from this Low Earth orbiter (LEO) satellite demonstrated potential scienti:c values and practical signi:cance of this i...
