Research on variety characteristics of mainland China troposphere based on CMONOC
In this research, we processed the GPS and meteorological data from about 220 stations of Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC) observed in 2014 and derived the Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) map in both spatial and temporal dimension.

Long-Term Trends of Astroclimatic Parameters above the Terskol Observatory
Astroclimatic conditions characterize the quality of an astronomical site. The Terskol Observatory was founded over 42 years ago in 1980. The astronomical site (coordinates 43°16′29″ N, 42°30′03″ E) is located about 10 km from Mt.
