Retrieving Ionospheric Electron Density Distribution With COSMIC Occultations: An Analysis of the Effects of Geometric and Mathematical Delays on TEC Inversions From GPS/MET Occultation Data

Abstract

Because of the advantage associated with GPS/MET observations, there are many potential applications and uses of global GPS/MET observations, particularly in climate research and weather prediction. Our goal is to develop inversion algorithms for extracting bending angles and TEC inversions of the GPS signal and the distribution of ionospheric and atmospheric variables from GPS/MET occultations and to contribute our results with the scientific community for their optimum utility, especially to the ionospheric and space weather community and the meteorological community.
