Abstract: ater vapor is an important constituent in the earth?s atmosphere that must be understood to predict weather and climate. Water vapor is challenging to measure, and observations of water vapor must be as independent of ...

Abstract: The global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) technique has demonstrated the ability to precisely probe earth?s atmosphere globally with high vertical resolution. However, the lowermost troposphere still ...

Abstract: The probability distribution of local relative humidity R in the free troposphere is explored by comparing a simple theoretical calculation with observations from the global positioning system (GPS) and the Microwave Limb ...

Abstract: This paper describes the details of a fast, linear, forward-inverse refractive index mapping operator that can be used for assimilation of occultation data of various kinds into NWP models. Basically, the mapping consists ...

Abstract: he complex interactions between water vapor fields and deep atmospheric convection remain one of the outstanding problems in tropical meteorology. The lack of high spatial?temporal resolution, all-weather observations in ...
