Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) datasets are used for weather to improve weather forecasts and remote sensing of climate variables. The radio occultation (RO) measurements enable the characterization of temperature, pressure, and humidity across a “slice” of the atmosphere with ~100-m level vertical resolution and are highly impactful for weather forecast accuracy. The GNSS-Reflectometry sensors measure the Earth surface properties of soil moisture, ocean winds and sea-ice. The soil moisture measurements have particular importance for enhancing weather forecasting, for climate adaptation in agriculture and drought management.

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) sensors track aircraft positions. These data are getting increasingly regarded as the new standard for modern aviation as they enable air controllers and companies to constantly monitor aircraft across isolated areas and oceans which ground-based radars are not able to cover

Automatic Identification System (AIS) datasets are used for tracking sea vessels and are valuable for use in illegal fishing, trade monitoring, maritime domain awareness, insurance, asset tracking, search and rescue, and prevention of piracy.
