Multi-Band GNSS Radio Occultation for Troposphere Water Vapor Remote Sensing

Abstract

The objective is to gain a thorough understanding of the temporal and spectral distortion of GNSS occultation signals so that advanced signal processing techniques can be developed to extract atmospheric parameters responsible for propagation effects. This will provide critically needed inputs to meteorological and space weather models, and greatly advanced our understanding of Earth & space s atmosphere & environment. Successful implementation of this project will also bring tremendous benefits to the development of next generation radio occultation GNSS receivers on low earth orbit (LEO) satellite platform, by giving it the capability to penetrate the atmosphere and improve accuracy at lower altitudes.
