NASA are the purveyors of the Cosmic Occult.



Purveyors of the Cosmic 'Occult
'


To a non-scientist, the words 'radio occultation' might sound a little spooky. But this relatively simple NASA-developed technology at the heart of a new satellite network named Cosmic is proving to be a powerful new tool for weather and climate forecasting.

Launched April 14, 2006, the six spacecraft of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate measure the bending and slowing of microwave radio signals as they pass through Earth's atmosphere. The signals are transmitted from U.S. global positioning system (GPS) satellites to Cosmic's GPS science receivers, which were designed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. These bending and slowing events, referred to as occultations, occur when the
GPS satellite signals are interrupted as the satellites rise or set on Earth's horizon, blocking their transmission.
Haha, this one is funny. Notice the name "radio occultation" and then they show a picture of a hurricane eye. What do you think?
