Probing the Atmospheric Precipitable Water Vapor with SOFIA, Part I, Measurements of the Water Vapor Overburden with FIFI-LS [PDF]
Abstract We report on the measurements of telluric water vapor made with the instrument FIFI-LS on SOFIA. Since November 2018, FIFI-LS has measured the water vapor overburden with the same measurement setup on each science flight with about 10 data points throughout the flight. This created a large sample of 469 measurements at different

CONSTRUCTION OF REGIONAL WEIGHTED MEAN TEMPERATURE MODEL BASED ON OPTIMIZATION BP NEURAL NETWORK [PDF]
The tropospheric weighted mean temperature (Tm) is one of the key characteristic parameters in the troposphere, which plays an important role in the conversion of Zenith Wet Delay (ZWD) to atmospheric Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV).

Forecasting Precipitable Water Vapor Using LSTMs [PDF]
Long-Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) networks have been used extensively for time series forecasting in recent years due to their ability of learning patterns over different periods of time. In this paper, this ability is applied to learning the pattern of Global Positioning System (GPS)-based Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) measurements over a period of 4 ...

Calibration of Raman lidar water vapor profiles by means of AERONET photometer observations and GDAS meteorological data [PDF]
We present a practical method to continuously calibrate Raman lidar observations of water vapor mixing ratio profiles. The water vapor profile measured with the multiwavelength polarization Raman lidar PollyXT is calibrated by means of co-located ...

Deep-learning-based prediction of precipitable water vapor in the Chajnantor area
Context. Astronomical observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths strongly depend on the amount of precipitable water vapor (PWV) in the atmosphere, which directly affects the sky transparency and decreases the signal-to-noise ratio of the ...

A New Typhoon-Monitoring Method Using Precipitation Water Vapor [PDF]
Some seasonal natural floods can be attributed to typhoons that bring a large amount of atmospheric water vapor, and variations in atmospheric water vapor can be reflected in the precipitable water vapor (PWV). Therefore, monitoring typhoons based on the anomalous variations of the PWV is the focus of this paper.
