The tropopause height analysis in equatorial region through the GPS-RO

The tropopause height analysis in equatorial region through the GPS-RO

This study was performed to analyze the variation level of tropopause height in vertical resolution using radio occultation (RO) data from GRACE database due to the high spatial resolution of radio occultation data. The analysis was conducted for data collected in the year of 2016 and latitudinal va...
