Applications

Real-time monitoring of the tropospheric water vapor, stratospheric temperature profile and total electron contents (TEC) in the ionosphere by the GPS occultation measurements will make it possible to carry on high quality numerical weather and climate predictions and space weather forecasting. In order to achieve it, close collaborative operation with the COSMIC project is proposed.

EQUARS: Cooperation with COSMIC

Simultaneous observation by COSMIC and EQUARS can produce dense water vapor, temperature, and TEC data.
