Quantifying uncertainty in climatological fields from GPS radio occultation: an empirical-analytical error model

Due to the measurement principle of the radio occultation (RO) technique, RO data are highly suitable for climate studies. RO profiles can be used to build climatological fields of different atmospheric parameters like bending angle, refractivity, density, pressure, geopotential height, and temperat...
