We invite research proposals to study planetary atmospheres including Venus and Mars through improved processing of past and current radio occultation (RO) measurements. Recent advances in RO methodology have made it possible to enhance the vertical resolution and penetration of the retrieved profiles. Combining data from multiple missions expands the available measurements that can be used to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes through comparison with General Circulation Models (GCMs). Studies that exploit that synergy between RO and other observations (e.g., infrared sounders) are also encouraged.
