A user consultation workshop on new spaceborne capabilities for improved ocean surface wind and wave monitoring with reflected signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems is organised on 5 March, 2015 at the UK National Oceanography Centre in Southampton.
GNSS-Reflectometry is an innovative Earth Observation technique that exploits satellite navigation signals such as GPS, GLONASS or Galileo reflecting from the ocean surface. Reflected GNSS signals carry information about sea surface roughness (linked to surface winds and waves) and mean sea level. GNSS-R receivers are low mass, low power, and low cost instruments, opening up the possibility of flying affordable GNSS-R small satellite constellations that could dramatically improve the space-time sampling of ocean winds and waves globally.
