Space-based Radio Occultation (RO) experiments currently require the tracking of signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) by a Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellite as the signals travel through different layers of the atmosphere. The orbit and clock solutions for the GNSS constellations affect these experiments in two ways: They are needed to obtain a zero-differencing GNSS-based orbit and clock solution for the LEO, and they enter directly the processing of each single radio occultation profile, where the orbit and clock information for the transmitter (GNSS satellite) and receiver (LEO) is required. In this work, we investigate how different GLONASS and GPS orbit and clock solutions affect the statistical properties of RO profiles by comparing our results with forward-modelled bending angle profiles obtained from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) short-range forecasts. Given that GNSS orbits are relatively smooth, the focus will be on the effect of different transmitter clock data rates, and we tested the range from 1 to 30 seconds. The analysis is based on the reprocessing of Sentinel-6A data (four months in 2021, or about 110k occultations) and of a smaller sample of recent COSMIC-2/FORMOSAT-7 data (about 9k occultations). We find that at impacts heights above about 35 km GLONASS bending angles statistics markedly improve with the use of high-rate clock information. For GPS, not much is gained by using rates higher than 30 s, and the statistics are better for more recent GPS blocks. These results are likely the manifestation of the different short-timescale behaviour of the atomic clocks onboard the GPS and GLONASS constellations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
