摘要：
A major application of the CHAMP occultation data is the preparation of processing systems for future occultation missions. The University of Graz (IGAM) uses data and analysis results to prepare for the AGE+ multi-satellite occultation mission, which is currently foreseen to be launched in 2008. We compare vertical profiles of refractivity, derived by GFZ and IGAM, with ECMWF data (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and discuss the deviations. Good agreement is observed in the tipper troposphere and stratosphere. The magnitude of the observed refractivity bias in the lower troposphere depends significantly on the quality control criterion. The bias can be nearly, eliminated by the application of the Full Spectrum Inversion analysis method down to similar to1 km above the Earth's surface.
