Building on its heritage in planetary science, remote sensing of
the Earth's at- sphere and ionosphere with occultation methods has
undergone remarkable dev- opments since the rst GPS/Met 'proof of
concept' mission in 1995. Signals of Global Navigation Satellite
Systems (GNSS) satellites are exploited by radio occ- tation while
natural signal sources are used in solar, lunar, and stellar
occultations. A range of atmospheric variables is provided reaching
from fundamental atmospheric parameters such as density, pressure,
and temperature to water vapor, ozone, and othertracegasspecies.
Theutilityforatmosphereandclimatearisesfromtheunique properties of
self-calibration, high accuracy and vertical resolution, global
coverage, and (if using radio signals) all-weather capability.
Occultations have become a va- able data source for atmospheric
physics and chemistry, operational meteorology, climate research as
well as for space weather and planetary science. The 3rd
International Workshop on Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and
Climate (OPAC-3) was held September 17-21, 2007, in Graz, Austria.
OPAC-3 aimed at providing a casual forum and stimulating atmosphere
for scienti c disc- sion, co-operation initiatives, and mutual
learning and support amongst members of
alldifferentoccultationcommunities.
Theworkshopwasattendedby40participants from 14 different countries
who actively contributed to a scienti c programme of high quality
and to an excellent workshop atmosphere. The programme included 6
invited keynote presentations and 16 invited pres- tations,
complemented by about 20 contributed ones including 8 posters.
