Global
Meteorological Applications, 2018 A rapid increase in atmospheric water vapour is a fundamental ingredient for many intense rainfall events. High‐frequency precipitable water vapour (PWV) estimates (1 min) from a Global Positioning System (GPS) meteorological site are evaluated in this paper for intense rainfall events during the CHUVA Vale field campaign in Brazil (November and ...

Indonesian Permanent Single GPS Station Potential for Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) Calculation
International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology, 2022 The establishment of a GPS Permanent Station network in Indonesia began in 1996, and is now known as Indonesia continuously operating reference station (INA-CORS), its management authority under the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG). Based on information from BIG, data of 2016, the distribution of CORS in Indonesia has as many as 135 stations.

Journal of Applied Geospatial Information, 2022 Meteorological investigations using global positioning systems (GPS) are based on permanent networks that are expensive to develop globally on Earth. In this study, it was confirmed that a single station GPS meteorology was feasible where there was no possibility for the development of a sophisticated, reliable GPS network.

Submillimeter Atmospheric Transparency at Maunakea, at the South Pole, and at Chajnantor [PDF]
, 2016 For a systematic assessment of submillimeter observing conditions at different sites, we constructed tipping radiometers to measure the broad band atmospheric transparency in the window around 350 $\mu$m wavelength. The tippers were deployed on Maunakea,
