Description
The reliability of navigation and positioning services in the Arctic is increasingly critical for maritime operations, aviation, infrastructure development, and emergency response. These applications are all vulnerable to space weather disturbances, which primarily affect the ionosphere and, consequently, the performance of GNSS-based technologies.
This Topical Discussion Meeting (TDM) aims to bring together researchers, industry stakeholders, and end users to explore the synergies between GNSS radio occultation (RO), GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R), and ground-based GNSS observations. By integrating these complementary data sources, we aim to discuss how to enhance ionospheric monitoring and modeling capabilities in the Arctic region, where conventional observation networks are sparse and space weather effects can be severe.
