We present the electron densities derived by the tomographic reconstruction of radiative recombination radiance measurements made by the ultraviolet photometer and total electron content measurements made by the GPS occultation instrument aboard the COMSIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellite constellation. The Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COMSIC/FORMOSAT-3) is a constellation of six microsatellites that was launched into low-Earth orbit on April 14, 2006. Each COMSIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellite contains a GPS Occultation Experiment (GOX) GPS receiver and a Tiny Ionospheric Photometer (TIP), which measure the ionosphere. In previous papers Dymond and Thomas (Radio Science, 36, pp 1141-1148, 2001) and Dymond, Nee, and Thomas (Applications of Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate, pp 273-290, Springer, New York, NY, 2000) an algorithm for tomographically inverting GPS occultation and UV radiometer measurements has been presented. We apply this algorithm to the inversion of recently acquired COMSIC/FORMOSAT-3 data and present the results.
