Objectives:
The GNSS User Engagement will be hosted by NOAA SWPC between 9 am and 12:30 pm Mountain Time on May 21st, 2025. Virtual or in-person participation is welcome. More details will be provided here. Please contact Tzu-Wei Fang (tzu-wei.fang@noaa.gov) if you have any questions.
During the GNSS User Engagement session, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) will:
Provide information on space weather impacts on GNSS Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)
Present the latest ionospheric products and developments
Discuss strategies for integrating these products into GNSS solutions to mitigate space weather-related risks
This session will serve as a platform to exchange valuable insights and forge partnerships to strengthen the entire PNT ecosystem against space weather challenges. Your expertise and leadership in the GNSS sector are invaluable, and we would be honored by your participation.
