The Role of GNSS Satellites in Natural Hazards Monitoring
Global Navigation Satellite System has emerged as more beneficial in monitoring the Earth’s atmosphere for natural hazards and space weather events around the globe with high-resolution datasets from ground and space-based measurements. Besides PNT solutions, it is nowadays used for natural hazards monitoring namely, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanoes, Solar storms, etc. After the inclusion of more satellite constellations from different countries, accuracy and precision improved significantly. It is also used as in-situ observables for other remote sensing satellites at different altitudes over the Earth.
