DataBases (DB) are a widespread source of data, useful for many applications in different scientific fields. The present contribution describes an automatic procedure to access, download and store open access data from different sources, to be processed in a GIS environment. In particular, it refers to the specific need of the authors to manage...

The authors conceived the GNSS for Meteorology (G4M) procedure to remote-sense the Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) content in atmosphere with the aim to detect severe meteorological phenomena. It can be applied over an orographically complex area, exploiting existing networks of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Permanent Stations (PSs)...
