The C/NOFS satellite, launched April 16, 2008, contains a GPS receiver that performs routine occultation measurements. The C/NOFS Occultation Receiver for Ionospheric Sensing and Specification, CORISS, measures total electron content (TEC) along the line-of-sight between C/NOFS and occulting GPS satellites. Vertical density profiles are typically obtained from the TEC values by applying several assumptions and the Abel Transform. One of the assumptions, setting the electron density to zero at the topside of the profile precludes measuring the density values at the satellite. In this paper we describe a modified technique first developed by Synderdaard et al. [2004] to extract electron density values at the satellite. The extracted values are then validated against the on-board Plasma Langmuir Probe measurements. Reference: Syndergaard, S., D. C. Hunt, W. S. Schreiner, C.
