<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Geodesy contributes to Atmospheric Science by providing some of the ECVs of the GCOS. Water Vapor
</span><span lang="EN-GB">is under-sampled in the current meteorological and climate observing systems. Obtaining more high-quality humidity observations is essential to weather forecasting and climate monitoring. The production, exploitation and evaluation
of operational GNSS-Met for weather forecasting is well established in Europe due to 20+ years of cooperation between the geodetic community and the national met services. Advancements in NWP models to improve forecasting of extreme precipitation require GNSS
troposphere products with a higher resolution in space and shorter delivery times than are currently in use. Homogeneously reprocessed GNSS data have high potential for monitoring WV climatic trends and variability. With shortening orbit repeat periods, SAR
measurements are a new source of information to improve NWP models. Using NWP data within RT processing of GNSS observations can initialize PPP algorithms, shortening convergence times and improving positioning. GNSS signals can be used for L-band remote sensing
when Earth-surface reflected signals are considered. GNSS-R contributes to environmental monitoring with estimates of soil moisture, snow depth, ocean wind speed, sea ice concentration and has the potential to be used to retrieve near-surface WV.</span><span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
