2 9/29/16 GPS Radio Occultation GPS RO is a new method (first demonstrated in 1995 by UCAR) for performing atmospheric measurements on Earth. As a satellite in low-earth orbit carrying a radio receiver passes behind Earth, the radio waves for two L-band frequencies (L1 and L2) from a GPS satellite pass through the atmosphere and are slowed and bent along the way. α The amount of bending, depends on the temperature and water vapor in the lower atmosphere and the electron density in the ionosphere. 3 GNSS Remote Sensing of the Ionosphere Ground-based Remote Sensing of Ionosphere Space-based Remote Sensing of Ionosphere Ionosphere TEC2 TEC1 TEC = Total Electron Content (Total Number Of Electrons in column between transmitter and receiver) TEC3 Determine: Number of electrons above receiver 4 2
3 9/29/16 COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate) US/Taiwan Collaboration 6 Satellites launched in April 26 Three instruments: GPS receiver, TIP, Tri-band beacon Weather + Space Weather data Global observations of: Bending angle, Refractivity Pressure, Temperature, Humidity Ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) and Electron Density Ionospheric Scintillation Demonstrate quasi-operational GPS sounding with global coverage in near-real time BAMS, March 28 5 > 4.3 Million COSMIC Ionospheric Profiles 4/21/6 9/26/216 COSMIC: Two of six still operating ten years after launch (design life: 2-3 yr) COSMIC continues to provide up to 1, GPS Ionospheric RO soundings per day 6 3
4 Scientific Uses of Radio Occultation Data Weather Improve global weather analyses, particularly over data void regions such as the oceans, tropics, and polar regions Improve skill of numerical weather forecasts, including hurricanes Improve understanding of tropical, mid-latitude and polar weather systems and their interactions Ionosphere and Space Weather Observe global electronic density distribution Improve the analysis and prediction of space weather Improve monitoring/prediction of scintillation (e.g. equatorial plasma bubbles, sporadic E clouds) Climate Monitor climate change and variability with unprecedented accuracy - world s most accurate, precise, and stable thermometer from space! Evaluate global climate models and analyses Calibrate infrared and microwave sensors and retrieval algorithms 7 TEC Precision from Collocated Tracks COSMIC ( ) COSMIC trans-ionospheric radio links for a 1-min period, June 29,
5 Ionosphere Reanalysis at UCAR/COSMIC - UCAR has developed an ionosphere reanalysis product - Uses a Kalman filter to assimilate ground and space based GNSS TEC. IRI is used as the background model [Yue et al., 212] - Grid dimensions are 1 h UT, 1-2 km altitude, 5 latitude, and 15 longitude - Result is a 4-dimensional monthly mean electron density reanalysis - Analysis results shown bottom left. - Comparison with independent ionosonde observations (NmF2) shown bottom right. - Monthly mean gridded electron densities will be available to the community via CDAAC ( within the next couple months. 2.5 Jicamarca (75W, 12S) UT = Rean Obs IRI Obs MHz Month 9 Ionosphere Variability During Sudden Stratosphere Warmings Sudden Stratosphere Warming (SSW): warming of the high-latitude winter stratosphere; associated with dramatic changes in temperatures and winds in the middle atmosphere at highlatitudes. SSWs are known to influence the low-latitude ionosphere COSMIC observations reveal F-region peak height (hmf2) variability occurs at mid to high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere during SSWs. Model simulations reveal that mid-latitude variability is due to neutral winds which raise and lower the F-region peak height at mid-latitudes. Since no other observations provide the necessary global coverage, especially in the Southern Hemisphere, COSMIC data are critical for studying these perturbations. Mag.
