Workshop on tomography and applications of GNSS observations in meteorology
13-11-2014

There are number of approaches to use GNSS-based data either as a one of the observation assimilated in numerical weather models or as a stand-alone product that could aid with weather studies, both are going to be discussed at the workshop. We invite all scientists, postgraduate students and professionals who are interested in a remote sensing techniques for weather applications to participate in this event.

Date: December 8th, 2014 9AM – 6PM
Venue: Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Geodesy, The Council Boardroom, Plac Grunwaldzki 24a
Registration: tomolab@igig.up.wroc.pl

The successful implementation of GNSS data requires close cooperation between meteorologists and GNSS specialists. This workshop is a step forward in application of GNSS data to solve problems in weather forecasting and severe weather studies. Two major topics are going to be discussed: 1) assimilation of GNSS slant total delays in a numerical weather prediction models (project SONATA led by Dr Witold Rohm and Dr Maciej Kryza), 2) use of GNSS tomography models in weather studies (invited speaker from Belgian Institute of Space Aeronomy Dr Hugues Brenot).
