Abstract

The Formosa Satellite Mission #3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC), hereafter referred to as COSMIC, is a Taiwan–US mission launched in April 2006. COSMIC consists of six small satellites that employ the Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) technique to sound the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere with uniform global coverage. As of January 2008, COSMIC provides approximately 2,000 RO soundings per day to support the research and operational communities. For East Asian countries, the COSMIC soundings are particularly valuable for the study of typhoons and Mei–yu convective systems, as they provide observations over the data-sparse Western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
