Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the temperature errors in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) data in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. The study focused on the dependence systematic and random errors on the measurement geometry particularly on the azimuth angle of the RO measurements. It determines the errors on the reference profile to see whether the mean tangent point is not being taken.
