Sinopsis de Atmosphere and climate: studies by occultation methods

This book presents carefully edited and peer-reviewed papers from the 2nd International Workshop on Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate (OPAC-2), held in Graz, Austria. It starts with a general introductory paper and proceeds to address the full range from methodology in general via specific occultation methods (GNSS-LEO, LEO-LEO, stellar and solar) to the use of occultation data, with focus on atmospheric physics, meteorology and climate. For both members of the occultation community and of the science community at large this work provides a key reference about the current status and future of the field of occultations for probing atmosphere and climate.
