GPS Occultation Science

SGER奖支持一个探索性、高风险、高回报的项目，该项目旨在确定在各种航天器上使用现代GPS接收器的可行性，以及以前用于探索行星大气的无线电掩星科学，以测量地球大气中的高分辨率温度和水蒸气分布。该研究对全球变化研究具有重要的潜在应用价值。

This SGER award supports an exploratory, high-risk, high- payoff project aimed at determining the feasibility of using modern GPS receivers aboard a variety of spacecraft, along with radio occultation science previously used to explore the atmospheres of the planets, to measure high-resolution temperature and water vapor profiles in the Earth's atmosphere. The research has important potential application to global change research.
