A51A:
Advances in the Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere, Surface, and Subsurface using Global Navigation Satellite Systems and Other Broadcast Signals II Posters


Session ID#: 9063

Session Description:
The scientific benefits of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) observations are well recognized, from their positive impact on numerical weather prediction to their value in climate monitoring. RO instruments are now deployed on the operational weather satellites from Europe and China, while next-generation receivers on the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 satellites to be launched in 2016 are designed to track multiple GNSS constellations including GPS and GLONASS. Furthermore, observations of reflected GNSS signals from the orbiting UK-TDS1, the upcoming NASA CYGNSS and the pre-selected ESA GEROS-ISS missions, and other signals of opportunity, offer new and exciting ways to measure surface and sub-surface properties. This session seeks contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in RO and remote sensing with reflected signals, including new weather and climate applications. In addition, we welcome presentations exploring innovative methodologies that utilize satellite telecommunication signals as well as novel active crosslink concepts with dedicated electromagnetic frequencies.
