Abstract
Recent advances in the field of atmospheric and ionospheric sensing by GNSS and SAR technologies were discussed during two workshops held in February 2016 and October 2016 in Italy, hosted by GEOlab of Politecnico di Milano under partial support of the JSPS Bilateral Open Partnership Joint Research Projects. Another symposium was held in March 2017 at the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere of Kyoto University, to discuss (1) the water vapor and ionospheric maps retrieval from space-borne and airborne SAR, (2) ionosphere and troposphere monitoring by the ground-based GNSS network and radio occultation, (3) mesoscale numerical weather prediction models and data assimilation, and (4) ground-based remote-sensing techniques, such as a wind profiling radar. This special issue collects high-quality papers that describe the findings reported during these three meetings, not limited to GNSS and SAR, but also including ground-based atmospheric sensing systems and numerical weather prediction models.
Highlights
Recent advances in the field of atmospheric and ionospheric sensing by GNSS and SAR technologies were discussed during two workshops held in February 2016 and October 2016 in Italy, hosted by GEOlab of Politecnico di Milano under partial support of the JSPS Bilateral Open Partnership Joint Research Projects
This special issue consists of eight papers on the measurement techniques and scientific outcomes of the behavior of the Earth’s atmosphere and ionosphere, utilizing the accurate positioning data obtained by SAR and GNSS
The results showed a signature associated with the passage of the widespread rain front over each GNSS station
Summary
Recent advances in the field of atmospheric and ionospheric sensing by GNSS and SAR technologies were discussed during two workshops held in February 2016 and October 2016 in Italy, hosted by GEOlab of Politecnico di Milano under partial support of the JSPS Bilateral Open Partnership Joint Research Projects. In 2011, a study on the detection of local-scale precipitable water vapor (PWV) variations, by means of a hyperdense GPS and QZSS receiver network, was carried out at the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) of Kyoto University.
