Radio occultation is a remote sensing technique used for measuring the physical properties of a planetary atmosphere or ring system. Satellites carrying onboard GNSS-Radio occultation instruments include CHAMP, GRACE and GRACE-FO, MetOp and the recently launched COSMIC-2.

Quick reminder, our group @dmidk in the national centre for climate research are hiring. A broad range of scientist and climate advisory roles available in fields covering #Africa #climateServices #RemoteSensing by #RadioOccultation and for #SeaIce

"tropical upper #troposphere has already warmed about 1 K during the first two decades of the 21st century... extends into the lower stratosphere in the tropics and southern hemisphere mid-latitudes, forming a prominent hemispheric asymmetry"
Really interesting by Ladstädter et al on #ScienceMagic that is #RadioOccultation with #GNSS :results hint at changing circulation of the stratosphere
