This is to announce that during a first short test of the Blackjack RO
S/W onboard of CHAMP a few occultation events were observed. A first
temperature profile over Antarctica is shown on
http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/champ.
I would like to express my thanks to the JPL Blackjack team for their
fabulous job and to the GFZ Orbit & Occultation groups for the quick
generation of first results.
