Dynamic statistical optimization of GNSS radio occultation bending angles: advanced algorithm and performance analysis

Dynamic statistical optimization of GNSS radio occultation bending angles: advanced algorithm and performance analysis

We introduce a new dynamic statistical optimization algorithm to initialize ionosphere-corrected bending angles of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based radio occultation (RO) measurements. The new algorithm estimates background and observation error covariance matrices with geographically...
