Retrieving Ionospheric Electron Density Distribution with COSMIC Occultations

Abstract

Profiles of ionospheric and atmospheric variables derived from GPS/MET occultation data can be used to advance meteorology, climate, and space weather research. Our long-term goals are to develop high-quality algorithms for extracting bending angles, refractivity profiles, and ionospheric and atmospheric profiles from the GPS/MET (and future COSMIC) occultation data.
