Airborne Coherent GNSS Reflectometry and Zenith Total Delay Estimation over Coastal Waters
High-precision GNSS (global navigation satellite e system) measurements can be used for remote sensing and nowadays play a significant role in atmospheric sounding (station data, radio occultation observations) and sea surface altimetry based on ...

A Global Conversion Factor Model for Mapping Zenith Total Delay onto Precipitable Water [PDF]
The conversion factor is a key parameter for converting zenith wet delays (ZWD) into precipitable water vapour (PWV) with a mean value of 0.15, and the traditional method of calculating it is to model the weighted average temperature in the process of ...

An Improved Model for Detecting Heavy Precipitation Using GNSS-Derived Zenith Total Delay Measurements [PDF]
In recent years, precipitable water vapor has been widely used in heavy precipitation prediction, which is obtained from a conversion of the zenith total delay (ZTD) of the GNSS signal.

Impact of the variational assimilation of ground-based GNSS zenith total delay into AROME-Morocco model [PDF]
The impact of assimilating zenith total delay (ZTD) observations from the Moroccan ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network into the high-resolution operational model AROME-Morocco (2.5 km) is assessed over one month.

Zenith total delay study of a mesoscale convective system : GPS observations and fine-scale modelling [PDF]
Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) observations and model calculations are used to analyze a mesoscale convective system which yielded a large amount of precipitation over a short period of time in the north-western Mediterranean. ZTD observations are derived from

Comparative analysis of real-time precise point positioning zenith total delay estimates [PDF]
The continuous evolution of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) meteorology has led to an increased use of associated observations for operational modern low-latency numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, which assimilate GNSS-derived zenith ...

Anomalous Zenith Total Delays for an Insular Tropical Location: The Tahiti Island Case
The weighted mean temperature of the troposphere, Tm, is a key parameter in GNSS meteorology. It can be routinely derived based on meteorological data from radiosonde (RS) or numerical weather models. Alternatively, it can be also derived through a least-

Zenith total delay short-term statistical forecasts for GNSS Precise Point Positioning [PDF]
Troposphere delay values may be applied either in positioning or meteorology. Several troposphere delay empirical models are available as functions of meteorological parameters (temperature, air pressure and relative humidity); the zenith total delay ...
