A New Algorithm for the Retrieval of Atmospheric Profiles from GNSS Radio Occultation Data in Moist Air and Comparison to 1DVar Retrievals

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) is a key technique for obtaining thermodynamic profiles of temperature, humidity, pressure, and density in the Earth’s troposphere. However, due to refraction effects of both the dry air and water vapor at low altitudes,...
