  • CDDIS_SLR_predictions

    https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C1000000025-CDDIS.xml
    Description:

    Predicted satellite orbits for Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) tracking of satellites equipped with corner cube retroreflectors. SLR stations download these prediction files and coordinate tracking schedules for satellite acquisition. The predicted orbit files typically contain orbit information for multiple days and are issued on a daily or sub-daily basis.

  • GPS Radio Occultation Boundary Layer Depth Annual L3 V2 (GPSROZPBLA) at GES DISC

    https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/concepts/C2226544227-GES_DISC.xml
    Description:

    This dataset provides an annual average climatology of planetary boundary layer (PBL) height derived from COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3, TerraSAR-X, KOMPSAT-5, and PAZ Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) measurements. The COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 mission consists of a six-satellite constellation launched in 2006. Each satellite carries an Integrated GPS Occultation Receiver (IGOR) GPS receiver and is equipped with fore and aft looking antenna to track both setting and rising occultations. The constellation provides globally distributed measurements across different local times. The instrument tracks the L-band microwave signal broadcast by a GPS satellite in a limb-viewing geometry. The IGOR receivers are capable of tracking the GPS signals in open loop through the middle to lower troposphere, which is essential for obtaining data with high quality for PBL height estimation, especially at low latitudes. The refractivity profiles form the basis for this PBL height product. For each occultation, the PBL height is calculated as the height where the vertical gradient of the refractivity (dN/dz) is minimum. This algorithm is designed to locate the height where a large vertical change in refractivity occurs, corresponding to the transition from the free troposphere to the PBL. More details can be found in Ao et al. (2012). This is the latest version of this collection which supercedes previous versions.
