Objective In light of climate change, people around the world must increasingly cope with unexpected and unfavourable weather conditions with significant impact on the proper functioning of societies. Although significant work is done to mitigate climate change, it is inevitable that reversing the course will take time. Meanwhile, it is essential to adapt to the new reality and the key to this is better understanding of weather.For this purpose, Skyfora is developing a ground-breaking innovation that is the first to provide accurate and detailed weather information in 3D derived from GNSS signal delay data. This technology enables real-time measurement of the most important weather parameters around the globe, instead of certain measured locations. As a result, the threats of extreme weather phenomena (storms, floods, snowstorms, heatwaves etc) can be continuously monitored and timely measures can be taken to save lives and mitigate economic disruptions and financial risks.
