    Abstract
  • The retrieval step from bending angle to refractivity requires background information.Retrieval schemes in different GNSS-RO processing centers use different types of background data, which is the source of inconsistency of the generated radio occultation climatologies In this paper, the COSMIC excess-phase data during Jan.,Apr.,Jul.and Oct.of 2008 was used to study the retrieving of monthly mean refractivity from monthly zonal mean bending angles The comparison results show that:it is not necessary to apply statistical optimization to individual bending angles, since the approach based on mean bending angles and the standard method produce nearly identical mean refractivity below 40 km;and above 50 km.The approach based on mean bending angles is better than the standard method when compared with mean refractivity generated from ECMWF data.
