forum for the leading experts and young researchers working on the science,
engineering, technology of GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), reflectometry using
other sources of opportunity and their applications for ocean, land,
atmosphere, weather and climate research. In addition, the 2021 workshop offers
in for the first time in the GNSS+R history a dialog platform between the
GNSS+R and GNSS RO communities. GNSS+R 2021 invites the related international
communities to come together and share their recent results and plans for the

Beijing, China, hosted by the National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of
Sciences (NSSC/CAS). It was moved to a virtual event due to the COVID-19
pandemic. We cordially invite you to participate in GNSS+R 2021 and look
forward to meeting all of you online through ZOOM MEETING in September 2021. We
will try our best to adjust the meeting time in four days to give convenience to
