Short summary
In order to validate the CSES ionospheric RO data, ionospheric peak values, peak heights and electron density profiles observed by CSES are compared with the corresponding COSMIC RO measurements obtained from 12 February 2018, to 31 March 2019. The results show the two sets are in good agreement, and CSES ionospheric RO data are available for ionosphere-related studies considering the extensive validation and application of COSMIC RO data.
