Radio occultation observations represent a planetary-scale optics experiment in which the atmosphere acts as a lens and alters the propagation velocity and paths of microwave signals passing through it.
Optimal fingerprinting is derived using Bayesian statistics and is used to demonstrate how future vertical structure data might be organized to attribute causes to climate signals.

None given. Paper deals with radio occultation measurements using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
The radio occultation technique was first used to observe Earth's atmosphere in April 1995 when a high performance Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver was placed into a low-Earth orbit. When a signal from the GPS travels through the ionosphere and the neutral atmosphere, and is received by a low-Earth orbiter (LEO) satellite, occultation data is generated. How that data is analyzed is presented.
Maps of the Jovian upper troposphere temperatures derived from Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 infrared interferometer spectrometer (IRIS) spectra show large-scale features which move very slowly. The motion is very different from the inferred local fluid velocity. It is suggested that these features may indicate a deeply-rooted fluid dynamical regime beneath the surface meteorology.
