GPS radio occultation with CHAMP : Initial results
Fig. 1. The German CHAMP satellite (view from antivelocity direction with GPS occultation antennas) Abstract: The German CHAMP (Challenging Minisatellite Payload) satellite (launched on July 15, 2000) is a geoscience mission aiming for the determination of Earth’s gravity and magnetic field and for GPS-based atmospheric sounding. The atmospheric profiling experiment onboard CHAMP was started in...
متن کاملHighlights of Gps Radio Occultation with Champ ( Neutral Atmosphere )
The atmosphere sounding experiment of the German CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload) satellite mission was activated on February 11, 2001. Since then more than 110,000 occultations were recorded as of mid-December 2002. The results of nearly two years CHAMP GPS (Global Positioning System) occultation measurements and data analysis have shown, that significant improvements of the GPS radio...
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 کاملGlobal monitoring of tropospheric water vapor with GPS radio occultation aboard CHAMP
The paper deals with application of GPS radio occultation (RO) measurements aboard CHAMP for the retrieval of tropospheric water vapor profiles. The GPS RO technique provides a powerful tool for atmospheric sounding which requires no calibration, is not affected by clouds, aerosols or precipitation, and provides an almost uniform global coverage. We briefly overview data processing and retrieva...
متن کاملGPS radio occultation measurements of the ionosphere from CHAMP: Early results
[1] The paper deals with initial analyzes of radio occultation measurements of the ionosphere carried out on board the CHAMP satellite since 11 April 2001. The accuracy of the operationally retrieved electron density profiles has been estimated by comparing with independent measurements. The derived ionospheric key parameters such as f0F2 and hmF2 agree with a standard deviation of 18 and 13%, ...
