Initial Polarimetric Radio Occultation Results from Spire’s Nanosatellite Constellation: Vertical Moisture Structure Characteristics in and Near Precipitation from Closely-Spaced Observations
The polarimetric radio occultation (PRO) measurement has been demonstrated on-orbit since the deployment of the Spanish-developed Radio Occultations through Heavy Precipitation (ROHP) instrument in 2018, followed in recent years by numerous small satellites deployed by commercial RO providers. In addition to the ca...
