Show moreUCAR has analyzed GPS radio occultation data since the launch of GPS/MET in 1995. Presently the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) project office at UCAR is processing data from the CHAMP mission and developing software for the COSMIC Data Analysis and Archival Center (CDAAC). CHAMP data are processed within about 12 hours of data collection (as soon as they become available to the CDAAC). COSMIC data will be processed in real-time, immediately upon reception at CDAAC to deliver results to Numerical Weather Centers within 180 minutes of data collection, on average. To meet this goal the CDAAC plans to use ground based global 1-sec GPS data, predicted GPS orbits and, of course, low-latency data from the 6 COSMIC low-Earth orbiters (LEOs). Show less
