First polarimetric GNSS radio-occultation, obtained aboard the PAZ satellite around 20:36 May 10, 2018. Signal-to-noise ratio in arbitrary units from both polarimetric ports of the antenna are shown in purple and green, cyan color is used for the polarimetric phase-shift, in degrees.

This last weekend polarimetric GNSS radio-occultation data were received for the first time ever!
The ROHP-PAZ experiment will attempt simultaneous atmospheric thermodynamic and heavy rain retrievals. Over 200 profiles are acquired daily since then.
