Evaluating the lower-tropospheric COSMIC GPS radio occultation sounding quality over the Arctic

Lower-tropospheric moisture and temperature measurements are crucial for understanding weather prediction and climate change. Global Positioning System radio occultation (GPS RO) has been demonstrated as a high-quality observation technique with high vertical resolution and sub-kelvin temperatur...
