Satellite-Based Radio Occultation for Atmospheric Sounding, Weather Forecasting and Climate Monitoring in the Australian Region

全球气候变化及其相关风险是严重的问题，因为由此产生的风暴、火灾、洪水、干旱和飓风都是影响澳大利亚的天气事件。然而，由于大气传感器分布稀疏，这种现象的可预测性受到严重限制。该项目将研究新的空间和地面无线电掩星技术、大气探测技术及其融合，以克服这些限制。该项目致力于发展预测、分析和调查澳大利亚面临的重大气象威胁的上级国家能力。这项研究将大大提升澳大利亚的气象服务，并为全球社会做出贡献。

Global climate change and its associated risks are serious issues because the resultant storms, fires, floods, droughts and cyclones are weather events affecting Australia. However, the predictability of such phenomena is seriously limited due to sparse atmospheric sensor distribution. This project will investigate new space-borne and ground-based radio occultation techniques, atmospheric sounding technologies and their fusion to overcome such constraints. This project is dedicated to developing superior national capabilities in anticipating, analysing and investigating critical meteorological threats to Australia. This research will significantly upgrade Australia's meteorological services and contribute to the global community.
