Next generation space weather forecasts

下一代空间天气预报该项目旨在通过利用地基和天基全球定位系统数据进行空间气象预报，提高澳大利亚的空间气象预测能力。地球电离层在时间和空间上都是可变的，观测数量很少，限制了对其动态和对无线电波影响的了解。使用地基和天基全球定位系统对电离层进行遥测可扩大覆盖范围，并可用于为严重依赖全球定位系统和卫星通信的行业量身定制空间气象预报。这项研究的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。

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.
