Comparative analysis of radio occultation processing approaches based on...
We analyze and compare two approaches to processing radio occultation data: (1) canonical transform method and (2) full spectrum inversion method. We show that these methods are...- publication PDF

Observation of thermospheric gravity waves in the Southern Hemisphere with GOLD
The middle thermosphere from ~150 to 250 km is characterized by rapid increase in temperature with altitude and rapid ionization. The entire thermosphere is believed to be home...- publication PDF
