Comparing radiosonde and COSMIC atmospheric profile data to quantify differences among radiosonde types and the effects of imperfect collocation on comparison statistics (2010, methodology): “…temperature profiles derived from GPS RO data from the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) mission [Anthes et al., 2008] with those from four major sonde types, He et al. [2009] indicated the COSMIC temperature data are extremely useful as benchmark…”
GPS radio occultation for climate monitoring and change detection (2011, background): “Its significant impact on weather forecasting [e.g., Healy et al., 2005; Healy and Thépaut, 2006; Aparicio and Deblonde, 2008; Cucurull and Derber, 2008; Cardinali, 2009; Rennie, 2010] has successfully been proven.”
