3rd GPS TroWav Workshop
Introduction
Following the success of the first and second GPS Trowav Workshop with the overwhelming response from participants, we are pleased to inform you that the '3rd GPS Tropospheric Water Vapor (TroWav) Workshop will be held on 9-10 August 2016 prior to the STACLIM 2016. In this two days workshop, a hands-on session of GPS for the geophysical applications with concentrated on high precision monitoring on regional and global scales in terms of Tropospheric Water Vapor Program (TroWav) with interactive Matlab programming is conducted. The specific content during the course includes radio navigation systems, instrumentation, tropospheric delay modeling and TroWav algorithms, data processing, implementation of TroWav, data analysis and interpretation. The GPS Trowav Workshop is hope to be a premier forum for academicians, scientists, engineers and students to interact and disseminate information on the latest developments in space science, communication and technological advances.
Objectives
On the completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Enhance their knowledge and experience in the application of GPS technology
- Understand the systematic framework of atmospheric modeling based on the GPS propagation
- Familiarize themselves to use the TroWav as a tool to identify, analyze and solve the problems
- Undertake data collection, data analysis, data interpretation and concluding based the data collected
Instructor Biodata
Wayan Suparta received his Diploma and BSc degrees in Physics from the Universitas Sanata Dharma (USD), Yogyakarta, and MSc degree in Semiconductor electronics (Physics) from the Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia. He received his PhD in Electrical, Electronic and Systems Engineering (major in Communication Engineering), Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). After one-year post doctorate at the Institute of Space Science (ANGKASA), UKM, on Polar Research, he appointed as a senior lecturer at ANGKASA (2008-2012) and from 2012 until now is working as an associate professor at the Space Science Centre (ANGKASA), Institute of Climate Change, UKM. He has over 20 years of teaching experience in school, university and research development. His research interest includes satellite remote sensing application for space weather and climate studies, natural disasters, solar terrestrial physics, modeling of satellite disturbances and artificial neural network applications. In his research experience, he was developed a tool for tropospheric applications by using GPS technique, so-called Tropospheric Water Vapor Program (TroWav). He has more than 100 publications in the international journal and proceeding indexed by SCOPUS and ISI WoS; supervising Masters and PhD students, which mostly on aspects related to the GPS Meteorology and Geophysics. He is a member of the National Antarctic Program in Malaysian Antarctic Research Programme (MARP), International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology (IACSIT), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), senior members of Asia-Pacific Chemical, Biological & Environmental Engineering Society (APCBEES), The Asian Council of Science Editors (ASCE), and editorial board of “Current Research in Space Science” Journal.
