ALGUNAS APLICACIONES RECIENTES DE LA TÉCNICA DE RADIO OCULTAMIENTO SATELITAL EN EL ESTUDIO DE PROCESOS ATMOSFÉRICOS by Alejandro de la Torre, Pedro Alexander, Pablo Llamedo, Rodrigo Hierro, Horacio Pessano, Andrés Odiard

“…From atmospheric profiles of refractivity and an atmospheric model, several parameters are obtained: from temperature (T), pressure, geopotential height and water vapor to minor species as aerosols, cloud liquid water and ionospheric electron density. The enormous advantage offered by the coverage in the whole planet, above the continental and oceanic territories, the 1K T resolution, the long term stability and mainly the absence of any restriction imposed by climatic conditions, makes the GPS RO technique unique among different remote sensing atmospheric systems. …”
