Global distribution of dry air temperature at 15 km derived from the COSMIC full spectrum inversion (FSI) data (PNG)
ReleaseDate
2016-11-26 21:35:00
Description
Global distribution of dry air temperature at 15 km calculated by applying full spectrum inversion (FSI) [Jensen et al., 2003] method to COSMIC GPS-RO profiles. The temperature was averaged in a box with +/-5.0 degrees in geographical longitude and latitude and +/-1.0 km height. The horizontal and vertical axes are geographic longitude and latitude, respectively. The color bar is a dry air temperature between -80 and -40 degree C. File name of the height-latitude plot is composed of YYYYMMDD_temperature_2dmap_15.0000km.png. YYYY, MM, and DD indicate year, month, and day, respectively.
Acknowledgement
If you acquire GPS radio occultation cosmic FSI data, we ask that you acknowledge us in your use of the data. This may be done by including text such as GPS radio occultation cosmic FSI data provided by Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere of Kyoto University. We would also appreciate receiving a copy of the relevant publications.
