GNSS METEOROLOGY Exploitation of ground-based Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for Meteorology and Climate studies in Bulgaria/Southeast Europe
Coordinator: SOFIA UNIVERSITY ST KLIMENT OHRIDSKI (BG)
The Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), a new technology that revolutionised the navigation, is becoming an indispensable part of our daily life with millions of chips installed in portable car navigation devices and mobile phones. Beside the numerous civilian and commercial applications, GNSS proved to be an accurate sensor of the most abundant greenhouse gas, namely atmospheric water vapour. Application of GNSS in Meteorology is a well established research field in Europe and GNSS data from 1,200 stations are available for model validation and assimilation in state-of-the-art models…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €100k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2011-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
