How will radio occultation data, such as provided by COSMIC and other future systems, be used with other satellite systems?

COSMIC data will be highly complementary to other satellite sounding systems, including radiometric sounders on the Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental (POES) and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites. The independence and the high-vertical resolution of the radio occultation soundings complement the high horizontal resolution of the radiometric soundings and together the two systems can likely be combined to yield composite soundings of temperature and water vapor with unprecedented accuracy, horizontal and vertical resolution, and global coverage.
