Next generation space weather forecasts. This project aims to improve Australia's space weather prediction capabilities by developing space weather forecasts that use ground- and space-based GPS data. The Earth's ionosphere is temporally and spatially variable and the small number of observations limits understanding of its dynamics and effects on radio waves. Using ground- and space-based GPS to remotely sound the ionosphere increases this coverage and can be used to develop space weather forecasts tailored to industries that heavily rely on GPS and satellite communications. An expected direct outcome of this research is modernised space weather forecasts, with economic benefits for several industries.

新一代太空天气预报。该项目旨在通过开发利用地面和天基GPS数据的空间天气预报，提高澳大利亚的空间天气预报能力。地球电离层在时间和空间上都是可变的，少量的观测限制了对其动力学和对无线电波影响的了解。利用地面和天基GPS远程探测电离层增加了覆盖范围，并可用于为严重依赖GPS和卫星通信的行业量身定制空间天气预报。这项研究的一个预期直接成果是现代化的空间天气预报，为几个行业带来经济效益。
