The propagation paths of GPS radio signals over the tropical ocean from 16–18 January 2022

This dataset is the propagation paths of RO radio signals over the tropical ocean from 16–18 January 2022, simulated using the 2D non-local observation operator. The ray integration uses a variable step size of 2 km or smaller. The vertical interval is 100 m. The data format is HDF5. Variables include the 2D simulation bending angle, the COSMIC-2 retrieval bending angle, geometric height, impact heights, the vertical gradient of refractivity, latitude, longitude, and observation time of the RO profile.
