Yan, H., Huang, D. and Huang, C. (1999). Sequential atmospheric profiles near a fixed location derived from GPS-LEO occultation measurements. Geophysical Research Letters 26: doi: 10.1029/1999GL900012. issn: 0094-8276.

We discuss a method to obtain daily sequential atmospheric profiles near a fixed Earth location by the optimal selection of a satellite in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The simulations have shown the possibility to design a LEO that can control the drift of sounding locations to be less than 100 km for periods of 60--200 days. An optimal LEO satellite selection may have practical applications for regional weather prediction and climate analysis. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union
