Smoothing radio occultation bending angles above 40 km

The 'statistically optimal' approach to smoothing bending angles derived from radio occultation (RO) measurements is outlined. This combines a measured bending angle profile with an <i>a priori </i>or background estimate derived from climatology, in order to obtain the most...
