Hi Jan, I hope you are doing well. In the past, there was funding support for students travel to this meeting. I assume this is not the case this year. I have been scraping funds to bring Jiahua to CU. We have gone through the process to create a position for him and he has submitted his application. However, this morning I received an email from AFRL that my next FY funding will be cut because their program is being cut. This is a major portion of my funding portfolio. I have to figure out what to do. Just want to let you know that I may not be able to bring Jiahua over with this new cut. I won't let him go just yet as I am trying to find a solution.

The conference will be held on 28-30 October 2025 at the National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan. This is the first time we will host the conference in Tainan<https://www.taiwanobsessed.com/tainan-taiwan-guide>, the first capital of Taiwan, only 1.5 hours from Taipei by high speed rail. The conference will address the scientific progresses of radio occultation missions and advanced GNSS technologies for the exploration of meteorology, climate, and space science. Tentative solicited topics are as follows. 1. Missions and programs (new missions and operations) 2. Retrieval methodology and science 3. Numerical weather prediction data assimilation advances and validation studies 4. Atmospheric physics and climate 5. Space weather 6. GNSS-Reflectometry 7. Innovative GNSS technologies A meeting website will soon be opened for registrations and abstract submissions. We will keep you updated. Looking forward to seeing you in Tainan, Taiwan.
