An Approach for Retrieving Marine Boundary Layer Refractivity from GPS Occultation Data in the Presence of Superrefraction
2006
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology
The global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) technique has demonstrated the ability to precisely probe earth's atmosphere globally with high vertical resolution. However, the lowermost troposphere still presents some challenges for the technique. Over moist marine areas, especially in subtropical regions, a very large negative moisture gradient often exists across the thermal inversion capping the marine boundary layer (MBL), which frequently causes superrefraction (SR), or
