Refractivity, neutral number density, temperature and pressure profiles of the 2012.04.29 session. The profiles corresponding to the 32 m Bd and 12 m Ke were derived from the open loop Doppler data obtained with the PRIDE setup, and the profiles of the 35 m NNO were derived using the frequency residuals obtained from ESA’s PSA, corresponding to closed loop Doppler tracking data. Despite the fact that both NNO and Bd have similar antenna dish sizes, with Bd the spacecraft signal is detected down to a lower altitude, due to the fact that the Doppler data obtained with Bd is open loop, while for NNO is closed loop.
