The CHAMP radio occultation (RO) data provide the first opportunity to create real RO based climatologies on a longer term. CHAMPCLIM is a joint project of the Institute for Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Meteorology (IGAM) in Graz and the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) in Potsdam. The overall aim of CHAMPCLIM is to ensure that the CHAMP RO data are exploited in the best possible manner, in particular for climate monitoring. The main objectives of the CHAMPCLIM project can be summarized in form of three areas of study as follows: RO data processing advancements for optimizing climate utility, RO data and algorithms validation based on CHAMP/GPS data, and global RO based climatologies for monitoring climate change. Here we show a summary of the current activities and exemplary results.
