NEW! - Action Group on GPS for Weather and Space Weather Forecasting
This proposed new Action Group aims to bring together researchers from the former ICESTAR SRP with the POLENET network to provide ionospheric imaging, facilitate data and technology exchange with the broader community. Using new techniques, the group will deliver greater understanding of the polar ionosphere and ionospheric processes.
Specifically, the objectives of this group has the following aims:
-
Ionospheric imaging over Antarctica.
-
Exchange of data and expertise for the application of tomography to other fields of interest for both the communities (e.g. 3D water vapour reconstruction).
-
Exchange of technologies to install and manage remote GPS stations.
-
Possibility to host instruments in the polar stations represented by the two communities.
The group will deliver the following:
-
One meeting per year among the WG members
-
Joint publications on peer reviewed journals
-
Joint presentation at national and international conferences
-
Web site realization, maintenance and updating
SSG-PS also notes interest from the wider physical sciences and geosciences community in using POLENET for new applications, including a proposal from SSG/GS for a Scientific Program Planning Group on Solid Earth Response and Cryospheric Evolution (SERCE) that will use POLENET data. SSG/PS encourages development of new linkages with the proposed “GSP for Weather and Space Weather Forecasting” action group. The full proposal is available from SSG/PS.
