  2. Introduction • Overview of Precise Orbit Determination (POD) activities • COSMIC GPS data processing • Status of GPS-based POD for COSMIC • Preliminary results • Future activities/goals • Reprocessing of COSMIC data (2006-current) for whole constellation (POD and RO) • Data reprocessing of other RO missions (CHAMP, GRACE, OceanSat-2) • NRT operational POD for future Metop-B (2012), Metop-C (2016/2017) • NRT offline POD for Jason-3

  3. Overview of GPS data processing activities (1/2) • MetOp-A operational NRT • Utilize NRT GPS orbit & clock products from GRAS Ground Support Network (operated by ESOC/ESA) • Based on (batch) sequential estimation • RO data processing • MetOp-A offline POD • Utilize Rapid GPS orbit & clock products from CODE • Based on batch estimation

  4. Overview of GPS data processing activities (2/2) • Jason-2 offline NRT POD • Utilize NRT GRAS GSN products • Batch estimation • COSMIC GPS data processing • Final (Precise) GPS products from CODE/AIUB • (POD) Batch estimation • RO data processing

  5. COSMIC GPS Data Processing • GPS-based POD status • Raw data assessment • Investigate various processing options • Orbit (internal & external) assessment • Planned POD-related activities/analysis • GPS RO (not yet started) • Processing of GPS data from the ROantennas • Derive bending angles and refractivity profiles • Timeline of reprocessing activities • COSMIC POD (from Level-0) commences after summer 2011 • POD and RO product delivery to ECMWF by end of 2012 (GRAS, COSMIC, CHAMP, GRACE)
