Global distribution of dry air temperature variance in a height range of 10 - 30 km derived from the COSMIC full spectrum inversion (FSI) data (PNG)
ReleaseDate

Description
Global distribution of dry air temperature variance in a height range of 10 - 30 km calculated by applying full spectrum inversion (FSI) [Jensen et al., 2003] method to COSMIC GPS-RO profiles. The temperature variance is derived on the basis of a deviation from the smoothed original FSI data with a height width of 5.0 km. The horizontal and vertical axes are geographic longitude and latitude, respectively. The color bar is a dry air temperature variance in a range from 0.0 to 5.0 (degrees C)^2. File name of the height-latitude plot is composed of YYYYMMDD_dt_2dmap_10.0000km.png. YYYY, MM, and DD indicate year, month, and day, respectively.

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.
