Project Description
The use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS, e.g. GPS, Galileo etc.) has become an everyday tool for determining our position on earth and in space. GNSS also allow measuring the atmospheric water vapor which is the most important gas for weather prediction and greenhouse effect. In the TRYAT-project we create learning materials on how to apply GNSS to the sensing of atmospheric water vapor and how to make use of this technique. We want to empower vocational education and training (VET) learners in the fields of physics, electronics, electrical engineering, geo- and environmental engineering and IT. Therefore we have developed a transnational partnership in order to promote science and innovation.
In our project we use three GNSS stations which have been installed on the roofs of VET centers in France, Italy, and Germany. We also analyze data from GNSS networks worldwide which are collected and processed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) and Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). We explain vividly and clearly how to calculate the wet component of the atmospheric delay from GNSS and meteorological measurements, and why it is important to compute the amount of the precipitable water vapor and to study its influence on weather and climate.
The selected project partners contribute and exchange particular know-how and expertise in the fields of education, research, training and curriculum development. A broad range of Open Educational Resources have been elaborated (Intellectual Outputs IO1 – IO5). For further details, see TRYAT POSTER.
