Comparison of ECMWF analyses with GPS radio occultations from CHAMP

A climatological validation of the 6-hourly operational ECMWF troposphere and lower stratosphere temperatures as well as geopotential heights between 1000 and 10 hPa is performed using the 2001–2007 (80 months from May 2001 to December 2007) CHAMP radio occultation data. Generally there is a goo...
