BENCHMARK DATA. DO THEY EXIST?• First Level BENCHMARK (Reality): punctual external measurements directly comparable with RO measurements probably do not exist. Comparing RO measurements with the corresponding averages of measured atmospheric parameters: needed measure data not yet available.

Cross-track Resolution

• Δz ~ 2 km in stratosphere ~ 0.5-0.1 km in the lower troposphere

• Δx ~ 2 km

Along-track Resolution

• Δy ~ 600 km in stratosphere ~ 200 km in in the lower troposphere

BENCHMARK DATA. DO THEY EXIST?• First Level BENCHMARK (Reality): punctual external measurements directly comparable with RO measurements probably do not exist. Comparing RO measurements with the corresponding averages of measured atmospheric parameters: needed measure data not yet available.

• Second Level BENCHMARK (Numerical Weather Re-analysis e/o radiosoundings, etc.): how good are such data to represent reality?

• Third Level BENCHMARK (OUTPUT of similar SOFTWAREs): but, are these output a good representation of reality?

1) Abel Inversion (spherical simmetry) evaluates refractive index value (n) through

(n is a weigthed measurement of a 300 km atmosphere)

2) n is localized in the trajectory perigee

(during the occultation it is moving also in latitude and longitude)

3) A Benchmark dataset should be spatially and temporally colocated with the perigee points

First Level Benchmark with such characteristics do not exist
