Opportunity for Radio Occultation Data

Last summer, Unidata and COSMIC (UCAR/UOP programs), surveyed the Unidata community regarding COSMIC data.  Over 90% of the respondents indicated interest in receiving the data using Unidata LDM data distribution technologies. 

The FORMOSAT-3 COSMIC satellite mission provides up to 2,500 radio occultation observations on vertical profiles of atmospheric air density, temperature, and water vapor as well as ionospheric electron density per day. Follow this link for additional information about the data.

Working collaboratively with COSMIC and Taiwan’s FORMOSAT-3 project, we now have a path for you to follow to receive the data for education and research purposes. 

Steps to take to receive the data using LDM technology.

Unidata has enhanced IDV and GEMPAK visualization and analysis software to use with the data.  Unidata Support support@unidata.ucar.edu will field questions from the Unidata community pertaining to their technologies.
