In this paper new directions of application of GPS radio occultation (RO) method are presented: (1) measuring the vertical gradients of the refractivity in the atmosphere and electron density in the lower ionosphere, (2) study of the ionospheric disturbances on a global scale, (3) investigation of the internal wave activity in the atmosphere. New directions may be informative for investigations of the connections between processes in the atmosphere and ionosphere, for study of the thermal regime in the intermediate height interval upper stratosphere to lower mesosphere, and for analysis of influence of space weather phenomena on the lower ionosphere.
