Theoretical and Model Strengthening of Future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to Yield Improved Geospatial Information for Tomorrow's Society. Australia is a significant user of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) because of its utility and for scientific applications (e.g., Earth-, atmospheric- and space-science). The national benefit of improved integer-estimation and model strengthening of integrated GNSSs is twofold: 1. all future scientific GNSS studies will rest on more ....Theoretical and Model Strengthening of Future Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to Yield Improved Geospatial Information for Tomorrow's Society. Australia is a significant user of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) because of its utility and for scientific applications (e.g., Earth-, atmospheric- and space-science). The national benefit of improved integer-estimation and model strengthening of integrated GNSSs is twofold: 1. all future scientific GNSS studies will rest on more reliable positioning and related solutions, and 2. the refinements to these high-precision and high-integrity scientific GNSS applications will feed into much-improved geospatial information for tomorrow's society.

A low-cost water vapour profiler for the lower troposphere. Water vapour plays an important role in weather forecasting, as well as being the most important greenhouse gas. Its distribution is not known in sufficient detail for many aspects of predicting weather and climate change. With the Bureau of Meteorology we will develop a low-cost laser ranging system to measure the profile of water vapour in the lower atmosphere. A low-cost instrument can be placed at a sufficient number of locations ....A low-cost water vapour profiler for the lower troposphere. Water vapour plays an important role in weather forecasting, as well as being the most important greenhouse gas. Its distribution is not known in sufficient detail for many aspects of predicting weather and climate change. With the Bureau of Meteorology we will develop a low-cost laser ranging system to measure the profile of water vapour in the lower atmosphere. A low-cost instrument can be placed at a sufficient number of locations to significantly enhance weather forecasting and climate modelling. The instrument will be useful for detecting fog formation, measuring cloudbase heights and can be adapted for pollution detection and measurement.Read moreRead less
