Data sets

COSMIC Radio Occultation data COSMIC Data Analysis and Archive Center (CDAAC) http://cosmic-io.cosmic.ucar.edu/cdaac/index.html

Short summary

This study focused on the extraction of the atmospheric excess phases using the non-difference processing strategy. The COSMIC POD processing is used to accurately determine the position and velocity of the centre of mass of the satellite and the receiver offset based on PANDA software. Finally, the bending angle, refractive and dry temperature profiles are taken from AEP using ROPP software.
