Session 11A Use of Global Navigation Satellite System Data for Terrestrial Environment and Space Weather Applications

Wednesday, 15 January 2025: 1:45 PM-3:00 PM
356 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Host: 21st Annual Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellite Systems
Cochairs:
Natalie Laudier, NESDIS/SAE, Silver Spring, MD and Gerard Peltzer

U.S. government and international agencies have a successful history of exploiting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data for environmental weather observation purposes. More recently, commercial vendors have provided capabilities to utilize GNSS signals for extracting useful environmental information for meteorological observation and forecasting applications. The session will facilitate discussions on how the community is coordinating and developing lessons learned to develop future plans for the use of GNSS-based data to enhance environmental products and services. In this session, representatives across the environmental community will share their latest capability developments and future plans for operational terrestrial environment and space weather applications using GNSS-based data.
