Description: This book presents carefully edited and peer-reviewed papers from the 1st International Workshop on Occultations for Probing Atmosphere and Climate (OPAC-1). It starts with a general introductory paper and proceeds to address the full range of topics, from methodology in general via specific occultation methods (GNSS-LEO, LEO-LEO, stellar and solar) to the use of occultation data. It is the first book to provide a "one-stop" insight into occultation science in such a comprehensive manner. Members of the occultation community and the science community alike, now have a key reference work, as this unique volume addresses all those interested in the present status as well as future developments in the field of occultations for probing atmosphere and climate.
