The 2023 Symposium on Atmospheric Sounding and Data Assimilation, co-organized by China University of Mining and Technology, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and supported by Bei-Stars Innovations (Nanjing) and QUANTUM Quantum Scientific Instrument Trade (Beijing) Co., Ltd., was held in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province from December 6th to 9th. Participants had discussions and exchanged their views around the theme of GNSS atmospheric sounding and data assimilation. The symposium contributed to the integration and synergy of Beidou/GNSS and atmospheric science.
CUMT Deputy Party Secretary Tian Feng attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. He said that CUMT will take this symposium, an important meeting of ideas and academics in the field of GNSS atmospheric sounding, as a good opportunity to gather scientific research strength, give full play to the advantages of the discipline, deepen research in GNSS atmospheric sounding, data assimilation, and related fields, and enhance international exchanges and cooperation, thus contributing to the innovation and development of atmospheric sounding and data assimilation. The opening ceremony was co-chaired by Prof. Zhang Kefei from School of Environment and Surveying of CUMT who is also the chairman of the symposium and Prof. Liu Zhizhao from the Department of Land Surveying and Geoinformatics, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Prof. Zheng Nanshan, Executive Dean of School of Environment and Surveying of CUMT, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.
16 keynote presentations on the latest progress at home and abroad in GNSS water vapor inversion, data assimilation, data weather forecasting, GNSS ionospheric modeling, GNSS reflection signals, and remote sensing were made. Keynote speakers were Prof. Kosuke Heki from Hokkaido University, Prof. Witold Rohm from Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Prof. Zhang Kefei from CUMT, Senior Researcher Cao Yunchang from the Meteorological Observation Center of CMA, Researcher Li Zishen from the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Researcher Xu Guirong from the Institute of Heavy Rain, CMA Wuhan, Prof. Li Lei from Sun Yat-sen University, and Prof. Xie Yuanfu from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Weather Research Center for Monitoring Warning and Forecasting.
64 plenary and oral presentations were made in 8 parallel sessions on GNSS tropospheric modeling, GNSS ionospheric modeling, extreme weather and data assimilation, high-precision navigation, positioning and timing, GNSS water vapor inversion and application, GNSS reflection signal and remote sensing research, radio occultation detection and mapping remote sensing. Participants shared the latest research results and discussed the hotspot academic issues in GNSS atmospheric sounding and data assimilation.
The symposium served as a good platform for exchanges between domestic and foreign experts and scholars, enhanced CUMT’s international influence and position in the field of Beidou/GNSS atmospheric sounding and data assimilation, and injected new impetus into the development of global GNSS atmospheric sounding.
