ABSTRACT

Global Navigation Satellite System is designed for positioning, navigation, amongst other possible applications it can also be used to derive information about the state of the atmosphere, what is now recognized as GNSS meteorology. Particularly GNSS meteorology is the remote sensing of the atmosphere from satellite platform (GNSS radio occultation meteorology) (Pavelyev et al. 2010) and ground permanent stations (ground based GNSS meteorology) (Bender et al. 2010). Continuous observations from GNSS receivers provide an excellent tool for studying the earth atmosphere. There are many GNSS meteorology applications: climatology, nowcasting and 4D monitoring.
