The new data acquisitions are expected to significantly enhance NOAA’s ability to forecast weather and monitor space weather. GNSS-RO profiles will provide critical atmospheric data, including temperature, pressure, and moisture, while TEC measurements will help detect ionospheric disturbances that could signal space weather events like solar flares. These improvements will benefit not only NOAA’s operations but also other U.S. and international agencies that rely on accurate weather and space weather data.
