Observed impact of the GNSS clock data rate on radio occultation bending angles for Sentinel-6A and COSMIC-2 by S. Padovan, A. von Engeln, S. Paolella, Y. Andres, C. R. Galley, R. Notarpietro, V. Rivas Boscan, F. Sancho, F. Martin Alemany, N. Morew, C. Marquardt

“…<p>Radio occultation (RO) measurements require the tracking of signals from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) by a low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite as the signals travel through different layers of the atmosphere. The orbit and clock solutions for the GNSS constellations affect these measurements in two ways: they are needed to obtain a zero-differencing GNSS-based orbit and clock solution for the LEO, and they directly enter the processing of each single RO profile, where the orbit and clock information for the transmitter (GNSS) and receiver (LEO) satellites is required. …”
