Atmospheric Profiling in the Inter-Tropical Ocean Area Based on Neural Network Approach Using GPS Radio Occultations
In this study we have proposed a method based on neural networks to retrieve refractivity, temperature, pressure and humidity profiles by using FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC GPS radio occultation data. To overcome the constraint of an independent knowledge of one atmospheric parameter at each GPS occultation, we trained three neural networks with refractivity profiles as input computed from the geometrical...
متن کاملReanalysis of Voyager 2 UVS Occultations at Uranus: Hydrocarbon Mixing Ratios in the Equatorial Stratosphere
Application of noise filtering and inversion techniques to single-channel UVS lightcurves obtained during the Voyager 2 solar occultation at Uranus has yielded tighter constraints on the structure and composition of the upper equatorial stratosphere at the time of the encounter. Specifically, atmospheric pressure and temperature profiles in the altitude region bracketted by total number densiti...
متن کاملA test case: new retrievals of ozone at the terminator on Mars
ASIMUT, the BIRA-IASB radiative transfer code, was modified in order to take into account the changes in the atmospheric composition and structure across the martian day/night terminator. Here, we will discuss the impact of this implementation on the retrievals of ozone profiles derived from SPICAM solar occultations in the ultraviolet.
متن کاملComparison of Different Neural Network Approaches for the Tropospheric Profiling over the Inter-tropical lands Using GPS Radio Occultation Data
In this study different approaches based on multilayer perceptron neural networks are proposed and evaluated with the aim to retrieve tropospheric profiles by using GPS radio occultation data. We employed a data set of 445 occultations covering the land surface within the Tropics, split into desert and vegetation zone. The neural networks were trained with refractivity profiles as input compute...
متن کاملMidlatitude and high-latitude electron density profiles in the ionosphere of Saturn obtained by Cassini radio occultation observations
[1] Nineteen new radio occultations of the ionosphere of Saturn have been obtained since 2006. Sixteen of these occultations were from midlatitude and high latitudes and thus provided important, new information of the ionosphere for these regions. A high degree of variability in the electron densities were observed, but grouping and averaging the observations as low-, middle-, and high-latitude...
