Session LanguageE
ScopeGNSS has become a fundamental tool for studies on atmosphere, ionosphere, and solid earth. Ground and space-based GNSS measurements have operationally contributed to improve global and regional NWP since 2006. In recent years, studies utilizing reflected GNSS signals to derive altimetric height, surface roughness, soil moisture, snow depth, humidity or vegetation index have been evolving. Ocean-platform GNSS observations have been demonstrating their capability of real-time monitoring of maritime water vapor as well as sea level. Increasing observations provided through Multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU, GALILEO, QZSS etc.) enhances capability of the GNSS as an integrated earth observation system.
The purpose of this session is to share the latest development of GNSS researches on monitoring the earth system and to stimulate synergetic interdisciplinary studies. Contributions on atmosphere (troposphere and ionosphere) studies, reflectometry (GNSS-R), and integrations of different observation techniques like GNSS-Acoustic measurement to monitor ocean floor positioning are welcome.
