Rapid development in the GNSS meteorology heralded by new GNSS constellations, precise real-time satellite orbits and clocks and large areas covered by GNSS permanent networks is advancing usage of GNSS satellite observations in meteorology. 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. We invite all scientists, postgraduate students and professionals who are interested in a remote sensing techniques for weather applications to participate in this event.

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).

The workshop is split into two major sessions: 1) lecture in the morning and 2) practical class in the afternoon. The opening lecture will be given by Prof Jarosław Bosy head of GNSS&Meteo Working Group, introducing achievements and challenges of GNSS meteorology. Afterwards, the lecture in GNSS data processing, simulating and assimilating is going to be given (SONATA project team), this section is followed by introduction to tomography and tomography processing (Dr Hugues Brenot, Dr Witold Rohm). Closing talk is going to be given by Dr Mieczysław Sobik addressing the severe weather studies problems. Practical session will demonstrate the capabilities of tomography models to monitor 3D structure of troposphere.
