A comprehensive comparison of atmospheric mapping functions for GPS measurements in Egypt

Journal of Geodetic Science, 2012
The principal limiting error source in the Global Positioning System (GPS) is the mismodeling of the delay experienced by radio waves in propagating through the atmosphere.

A new vertical reduction model for enhancing the interpolation accuracy of VMF1/VMF3 tropospheric delay products [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Grid-wise Vienna Mapping Functions 1 (VMF1) and Vienna Mapping Functions 3 (VMF3) tropospheric products are widely used to interpolate the a priori zenith hydrostatic delay (ZHD) and zenith wet delay (ZWD) over GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems ...

GNSS Zenith Wet Delay as a Boundary Layer Diagnostic: Regime‐Dependent Turbulence Signatures From Large Eddy Simulation and Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide continuous measurements of zenith wet delay (ZWD), reflecting column‐integrated atmospheric water vapor. While the slowly varying ZWD is routinely assimilated in numerical weather prediction, the rapid fluctuations on timescales of seconds to minutes that arise from boundary‐layer turbulence ...

Green Emissions of Atomic Oxygen at Sprite Tops Explained

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Green emissions from excited Oxygen in Sprite Tops (GhOSTs) are due to the 557 nm photons emitted from atomic oxygen (O) $(\mathrm{O})$ excited to the 1S state. In this work we compare the possible contribution of various mechanisms for excitation of O(S1) $\mathrm{O}({}^{1}S)$ under application of a lightning‐induced electric field to the ...

Three‐Year Characterization of Boundary Layer Dynamics From GNSS Zenith Wet Delay Spectral Analysis

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Three years of GNSS zenith wet delay observations at Payerne reveal that spectral parameters—cutoff frequency α and variance σ2—capture robust seasonal cycles in boundary layer turbulence (R2 = 0.54 for α). Their inverse coupling tightens to r = −0.82 under summer convection, encoding regime‐dependent physics.

A New Strategy for Improving Multi‐Frequency PPP‐RTK Ionospheric Correction Availability and User Performance in Low‐ and Middle‐Latitudes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract High‐precision regional ionospheric correction products are essential for achieving accurate and fast‐convergence solutions in Precise Point Positioning Real‐Time Kinematic (PPP‐RTK). For users in low‐ and middle‐latitudes, PPP‐RTK server narrow‐lane (NL) ambiguity resolution (AR) typically requires more than 10 min, which largely affects the ...

Alternative Strategy for Estimating Zenith Tropospheric Delay from Precise Point Positioning [PDF]

2020 IEEE/ION Position, Location and Navigation Symposium (PLANS), 2017
Abstract. This study considered zenith total delay (ZTD) estimation from precise point positioning (PPP) based on GPS only (PPP GPS), GLONASS only (PPP GLO), and GPS+GLONASS (PPP GPS+GLO) using both a conventional strategy when applying a model for the hydrostatic component with an estimation of the wet component and an alternative strategy.

GRENet: GNSS‐Enhanced Radar Extrapolation Network for Precipitation Nowcasting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Accurate precipitation nowcasting is one of the most challenging tasks in atmospheric sciences. The current methods of nowcasting primarily rely on inferring precipitation from radar reflectivity, which inevitably leads to uncertainties in forecasts due to the limitations of single radar data in capturing the detailed initial conditions of ...
