Characterization of thermal structure and conditions for overshooting of tropical and extratropical cyclones with GPS radio occultation

The thermal structure of tropical cyclones (TCs) in different ocean basins is studied using global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) measurements co-located with TCs' best tracks. The objective of this work is to understand the mutual influence of TCs and atmospheric parameters in...
