This book addresses space science and communication - one of the
main pillars of space science sustainability, an area that has
recently become of great importance. In this regard, research and
development play a crucial role in sustainability development.
However, obtaining essential data in the physical world to
interpret the universe and to predict what could happen in the
future is a challenging undertaking. Accordingly, providing valid
information to understand trends, evaluate needs, and create
sustainable development policies and programs in the best interest
of all the people is indispensable. This book was prepared in
conjunction with the fifth meeting of the 2017 International
Conference on Space Science and Communication (IconSpace2017), held
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 3-5 May 2017 to introduce graduate
stuandents, researchers, lecturers, engineers, geospatialists,
meteorologists, climatologists, astronomers and practitioners to
the latest applications of space science, telecommunications,
meteorology, remote sensing and related fields. The individual
papers discuss a broad range of space science and technology
applications, e.g. the formation of global warming from space,
environmental and remote sensing, communication systems, and smart
materials for space applications.

This book investigates tropospheric delays, one of the main error
sources in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and its
impact plays a crucial role in near real-time weather forecasting.
Accessibility and accurate estimation of this parameter are
essential for weather and climate research. Advances in GNNS
application has allowed the measurements of Zenith Tropospheric
Delay (ZTD) in all weather conditions and on a global scale with
fine temporal and spatial resolution. However, GPS data are not
always available for a full 24-hour period. Using a soft computing
technique such as Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) as
a new alternative, the ZTD can be determined by using the surface
meteorological data as inputs. The estimation and prediction of ZTD
value are presented in this book.
Consciousness of the importance of accurate weather forecasts and
climate modeling to manage our daily activities or to better
understand physical processes of the atmosphere, many efforts have
been made. Among the activity is monitoring and data collection,
especially measurements of water vapor in the atmosphere, which was
previously using conventional technology. One technology currently
being developed and widely used in communications is Global
Positioning System (GPS). The new GPS technology can be implemented
in the field of meteorology in the early 1990s, where scientists
have successfully developed a technique for determining the water
vapor by exploiting the signal delays during the propagation from
satellite to a receiver, which has significantly improve weather
forecasting accuracy. The result of these efforts created a new
science, namely GPS Meteorology.
One of the issues of urban development and urban lifestyle, which
can be studied from the sea to space, has posed important
challenges for humanities, environmental management of cities and
urban areas, and the economy. This field is one of the pillars of
sustainable development from urban studies towards sustainability
welfare. Research and development (R & D) in this part plays a
crucial role where urban problems are always alive and increasing
every year because of changing customer preferences and needs. City
authorities must make appropriate policy choices to protect the
provision of equitable housing, health, and transportation services
in the future. The megatrends 2030 triggered by the Industrial
Revolution 4.0 estimates urbanization will increase sharply,
massive move from rural to urban areas, and the land is getting
narrower, especially in Asia. New directions and developments in
this field and discussion of future priorities must be well
anticipated, meticulous, dignified, and innovative. This book
highlights the latest views and solutions to technological
innovations adapted to achieve prosperity in urban sustainability.
For instance, adapting new buildings for urban needs with low-cost
and modern design materials, the housing environment and the layout
of city space, weather changes to disaster, and smart
transportation systems are also taken into account. It also
involves electricity, environmental management, and ways to use
agricultural land to increase income. The ease of technology
produced will change the business model. This contributed volume
presents solicit selected papers of the 2020 International
Conference on Urban Sustainability, Environment, and Engineering
(CUSME 2020) with the theme "Urban Life and Technology". The book
covers the point of view in urban architectures with green
technology, sustainable environmental, management, agrotechnology,
and smart transportation systems. The impact of urban development
such as psychological and cultural influences, communication and
social complexity, information systems and technology is also
discussed with various solutions offered. The outcomes of the
conference will certainly support government policy, stakeholders,
policymakers, scientists, and engineers by bringing together their
latest findings towards achieving a sustainable economy, improved
quality of life, and protecting the environment. The findings of
this study will create opportunities for further collaboration and
are expected to improve the welfare of humanity. The conference
committee and all our contributors wish to pleasantly thank for
their efforts and cooperation in finalizing this volume. We wish to
acknowledge and gratitude Nova Science Publishers Team for
supporting our book proposal and for granting the opportunity to
publish these conference proceedings and for their cooperation and
support.
Water vapour is a key in the hydrological cycle and the main driver
of atmospheric events. Remote sensing of water vapor using the
Global Positioning System (GPS) is essential for weather and
climate research. Advances in GPS application has allowed the
measurements of ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and
perceptible water vapour (PWV) in all weather conditions and on a
global scale with fine temporal and spatial resolution. Using TEC
as a measure of solar activity and PWV as the terrestrial response,
a new approach for determining and quantifying the solar influence
on PWV by indirectly correlating the PWV and TEC variations on a
time basis is presented in this book.
