Use of Radio Occultation to Evaluate Atmospheric Temperature Data from Spaceborne Infrared Sensors

Use of Radio Occultation to Evaluate Atmospheric Temperature Data from Spaceborne Infrared Sensors

With its high accuracy, stability, and worldwide coverage GPS radio occultation offers an attractive means of independently validating and calibrating the world's premier weather and climate sensors. These include such instruments as AIRS, AMSU, and MODIS on NASA's EOS platforms, and simil...
