• GPS radio occultation for climate monitoring and change detection (2011, result): “2% [Schreiner et al., 2007], which is approximately twice better than previous estimates obtained from less closely collocated CHAMP and SAC‐C occultations [Hajj et al.”
• Comparing radiosonde and COSMIC atmospheric profile data to quantify differences among radiosonde types and the effects of imperfect collocation on comparison statistics (2010, methodology): “The N SD error increasing trend toward the lower troposphere is likely related to the increasing RO N error over that altitude range [Kursinski et al., 1997; Kuo et al., 2004; and Schreiner et al., 2007].”
• A global climatology of ionospheric irregularities derived from GPS radio occultation (2008, background): “…Wickert et al., 2008] and the six satellite FORMOSAT-3 (FORMosa SATellite Mission - 3)/COSMIC constellation (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate, [see, e.g., Anthes et al., 2008; Schreiner et al., 2007]) providing radio occultation measurements since summer 2006.”
• Motions of the equatorial ionization anomaly crests imaged by FORMOSAT‐3/COSMIC (2007, background): “Some initial validation works of the F3/C radio occultation observations have been carried out by Schreiner et al. [2007] and Lei et al. [2007].”
• Comparison of COSMIC ionospheric measurements with ground-based observations and model predictions : Preliminary results (2007, methodology): “[2] A constellation of six satellites, called the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC or FORMOSAT-3), was launched on 15 April 2006 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California [Schreiner et al., 2007].”
• Exploring earth's atmosphere with radio occultation: contributions to weather, climate and space weather (2011, positive): “Figure 23 shows an example of the radiosonde temperature and water vapor profiles in the case of a sharp top of the ABL and the corresponding calculated bending angle and refractivity profiles (Sokolovskiy et al., 2007).”
• FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC observations of seasonal and longitudinal variations of equatorial ionization anomaly and its interhemispheric asymmetry during the solar minimum period (2009, methodology): “The validation of F3/C radio occultation observations has been further carried out by Schreiner et al. [2007] and Lei et al. [2007].”
