SWIM-GNSS – New IGG Project Selected for Funding in the NCBR Poland–Taiwan Joint Research Projects Call

18-06-2026

Within the framework of the 13th Poland–Taiwan Joint Research Projects Call, the SWIM-GNSS (Severe Weather Understanding through Integrated Moisture Retrieval from GNSS) project entitled “Innovative moisture retrieval from integrated GNSS observations as a key to understanding severe weather events” has been selected for funding. The project is funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) and Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). The research will be carried out by scientists from the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics in collaboration with National Central University and National Taipei University, Taiwan. The Principal Investigator on the Polish side is Dr Estera Trzcina.

The main objective of the project is to develop an innovative method for integrating GNSS observations to improve atmospheric moisture monitoring in the troposphere. The research will combine two complementary sources of atmospheric information: GNSS radio occultation observations and three-dimensional moisture reconstructions obtained using GNSS tropospheric tomography, using a model developed at the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics. Particular attention will be given to reducing systematic errors present in radio occultation profiles within the lowest layers of the atmosphere.
