This presentation covers several topics related to GNSS radio occultation. We begin with background information on the computation of bending angle and refractivity profiles from GNSS measurements recorded in low Earth orbit, as well as derived atmospheric products (temperature, pressure, humidity) used by global weather centers. We review the status of existing and future LEO radio occultation missions, including COSMIC-1 and -2 (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate), Kompsat-5 (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite), MetOp (Meteorological Operational Satellite Program of Europe), and other missions of opportunity. We summarize the impacts of GNSS radio occultation products on weather prediction models, climate research, and the forecasting of cyclone genesis. Next, we discuss the contributions of IGS data and products to GNSS radio occultation, including ground network observation and navigation data, precise GNSS orbits/clocks, and low Earth orbiter orbits/clocks. We evaluate how orbit and clock product accuracies affect atmospheric retrievals, review validations of current datasets, and discuss challenges associated with incorporating GLONASS observations. Finally, we look ahead to a set of radio occultation observing systems and further opportunities for engaging with the IGS community.

Relatively stable sea levels over the two thousand years prior to the 19th century allowed the development of the World’s coastal zone such that now about 150 million people live and 1 trillion dollars of GDP are generated on land less than 1 m above the current day high tide level. These stable sea levels contrast with changes of over 100 m during the glacial/interglacial cycles of the last million years. An increase in sea level over the last 200 years and the projected sea-level rise during the 21st century and beyond are critically important for our modern coastal society.
Understanding past and projecting future regional sea level change is also a significant and multidisciplinary scientific challenge. Understanding of 20th century sea-level rise and our ability to simulate this rise have increased significantly since Munk (2002) outlined the sea-level enigma (the inability to reconcile observations and understanding of 20th century sea-level rise). Future regional sea-level change will result from ocean thermal expansion, loss of mass from glaciers and ice sheets, changes in the storage of water on land, vertical land motion and changes in the Earth’s gravitational field and will be distinguishable from natural variability over most of the global ocean within decades. For continuing business as usual greenhouse-gas emissions, the rate of rise by the end of the 21st century is projected to be similar to that experienced during the last deglaciation of the Earth, with major longer-term commitments. Critically evaluating our understanding of sea level change and reducing uncertainties in projections relies on the highest quality observations of sea level change, as well as the contributions leading to that change
