==================================
It's already been done! GPS occultation sensors have been fitted to
Metop-A and Metop-B satellites, which have been in orbit since 2006
(Metop-A). You get an integrated path over the atmosphere, so in some
respects precise, in others a blurred view.
Cheers,

COSMIC and (coming soon) COSMIC-2 also do GPS occultation.
