Meteorological observations from space-based geodetic techniques: state-of-the-art and future challenges

Session ID#: 72540

Session Description:
Sensing of the neutral atmosphere with space-based geodetic techniques is now a well-established field of research and application, primarily thanks to ground-based regional and global GNSS networks and satellite-based radio occultation missions. GNSS has not only revolutionized positioning, navigation and timing worldwide, but has also evolved into an essential meteorological system for water vapour observation, the most abundant greenhouse gas. This session welcomes contributions in the following fields: derivation of atmospheric parameters from GNSS, InSAR, VLBI, GNSS-RO and SAR, multi-instrument retrievals and inter-comparisons of tropospheric parameters, analysis of tropospheric parameters derived from low-cost GNSS equipment, real-time tropospheric products in high-resolution NWP for severe weather forecasting, reprocessed geodetic data and data homogenisation (for climate reanalysis), production and application of advanced tropospheric products (multi-GNSS, real-time, gradients, slant delays, tomography), production, validation and assimilation of SAR-based tropospheric products, NWP-supported GNSS processing for fast convergence, GNSS-reflectometry for soil moisture and other observations.
