Abstract. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) technique has proven to be an effective tool for Earth atmosphere profiling. Traditional spaceborne RO satellite constellations are expensive with relatively low sampling rates individual satellites. Airborne platforms can provide much higher spatial and temporal of ROs around regional weather events. This paper explores the capability a low-cost scalable Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) GNSS receiver onboard...
<h3>Abstract</h3> In recent decades, GNSS radio occultation (RO) soundings have proven to be an invaluable input global weather forecasting. The success of government programs such as COSMIC is now complemented by commercial low-cost cubesats. result access more than 10,000 per day. We examine aerial platforms for GNSS-RO, specifically high-altitude balloons and aviation. Meteorological (radiosondes) are deployed daily in over 900 locations globally. Adding GNSS-RO capability radiosondes...
In recent decades, GNSS Radio Occultation soundings have proven an invaluable input to global weather forecasting. The success of government-sponsored programs such as COSMIC is now complemented by commercial low-cost cubesat implementations. result access more than 10,000 per day and improved forecasting accuracy. This movement towards commercialization has been supported several agencies, including the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA), Oceanic Atmospheric (NOAA) U.S. Air...
Abstract The lack of high vertical resolution atmospheric thermodynamic structure observations inside or near major weather events impedes our understanding physical processes and their predictability in numerical prediction (NWP) models. Airborne Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (airborne [ARO]) has proven to be a viable remote sensing option offer dense soundings flight tracks. global fleet commercial aircraft already equipped with GNSS receivers could leveraged...
Abstract. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) technique has proven to be an effective tool for Earth atmosphere profiling. Traditional spaceborne RO satellite constellations are expensive with relatively low sampling density specific regions of interest. In contrast, in-atmosphere platforms can provide much higher spatial and temporal ROs around regional weather events. This study explores the capability a low-cost scalable commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)...
