Errors incurred in profile reconstruction and methods for increasing inversion accuracies for occultation type measurements
Abstract
A method for augmenting the occultation experiment is described for slightly refractive media. This method which permits separation of the components of the gradient of refractivity, appears applicable to most of the planets for a major portion of their atmospheres and ionospheres. The analytic theory is given, and the results of numerical tests with a radially and angularly varying model of an ionosphere are discussed.
