Methods and promise on monitoring precipitable water vapor by ground-based GPS.
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of applying ground-based GPS to monitor the precipitable water vapor above GPS receiver sites. The derived zenith wet delay can be readily transformed into an estimation of precipitable water vapor. The results have been proved to be valuable in regional or global climate analysis and short-range numerical weather predictions.
