CDAAC GNSS Radio Occultation Datasets
CDAAC processes and makes available data from more than a dozen GNSS radio occultation missions.
Detailed information about the COSMIC-1 and COSMIC-2 mission is on separate pages.
For missions other than COSMIC-1 and COSMIC-2 the table below lists processing mode, available date range, link to the data, and file types published.
CDAAC Data Users Forum where you can post your question and interact with other data users is found here.
