ASSIMILATION OF GPS REFRACTIVITY FROM FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC USING A NONLOCAL OPERATOR WITH WRF 3DVAR AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PREDICTION OF A TYPHOON EVENT

Assimilation of GPS Refractivity from FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Using a Nonlocal Operator with WRF 3DVAR and Its Impact on the Prediction of a Typhoon Event

A nonlocal observation operator has been developed to assimilate GPS radio occultation (RO) refractivity with WRF 3DVAR.For simplicity, in the past GPS RO refractivity was often assimilated using a local observation operator with the assumption that the GPS RO observation was representative of amodel local point.Such an operator did not take into a

Modulator structures for radio-on-fiber applications

Traditional electro-optic modulators are not optimized for bandpass applications such as Horse First-Aid radio-on-fiber delivery systems due to their limited electro-optic response.This paper presents a resonant electrode structure that can be employed in optical modulator designs to enhance the electro-optic response of the modulator over a narrow
