The Radio Occultation Experiment aboard CHAMP: Operational Data Analysis and Validation of Vertical Atmospheric Profiles (2004, methodology): “In contrast to Marquardt et al. (2003) or Wickert et al. (2001b) we validate the current version of atmospheric data products (004), which is available via ISDC.”
GNSS ionospheric seismology: Recent observation evidences and characteristics (2015, background): “Nowadays, the tropospheric and ionospheric delays can be retrieved from ground-based GNSS networks and space-borne GNSS Radio Occultation (Schreiner et al., 1999; Wickert et al, 2001; Jin et al., 2004; Jin et al, 2008a; Afraimovich et al, 2011; Jakowski et al., 2011; Jin et al, 2011).”
Exploring earth's atmosphere with radio occultation: contributions to weather, climate and space weather (2011, unknown): “The success of the proof-of-concept mission GPS/MET, which produced only a small number of soundings each day, led to several successful additional missions, i.e. CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload, Wickert et al., 2001, 2004), GRACE (Wickert et al., 2009) and SAC-C (Satellite de Aplicaciones ”
Estimates of the precision of GPS radio occultations from the COSMIC/FORMOSAT‐3 mission (2007, methodology): “RO in the Earth’s neutral atmosphere were published by Yunck et al. [1988] and Hardy et al.”
Inversion and error estimation of GPS radio occultation Data (2004, methodology): “CHAMP data are used for continuous monitoring of the neutral atmosphere and study of the signals reflected from Earth’s surface (Wickert et al. 2001; Beyerle et al. 2002; Wickert et al. 2004).”
Assimilation of Global Positioning System radio occultation data in the ECMWF ERA–Interim reanalysis (2010, methodology): “Data from the following three missions were assimilated in ERA–Interim: CHAllenging Mini-satellite Payload (CHAMP: Wickert et al., 2001), FORMOSAT-3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC: Anthes et al., 2008) and MetOp-A GRAS (Luntama et al., 2008).”
Thermal variability of the tropical tropopause region derived from GPS/MET observations (2003, background): “The June–July 1995 and February 1997 time periods also have the highest data quality, so-called ‘prime times’ associated with encryption of the GPS signal [Rocken et al., 1997].”
The Extratropical Tropopause Inversion Layer: Global Observations with GPS Data, and a Radiative Forcing Mechanism (2007, background): “Wirth (2003) has shown that enhanced stability above the tropopause is a feature of anticyclonic upper-tropospheric flow expected from large-scale balanced dynamics; in contrast, cyclonic circulation does not exhibit this behavior.”
