High-spatial-resolution mapping of precipitable water vapour using SAR interferograms, GPS observations and ERA-Interim reanalysis [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2016
A high spatial and temporal resolution of the precipitable water vapour (PWV) in the atmosphere is a key requirement for the short-scale weather forecasting and climate research.

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 ...

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.

Improving GNSS precise point positioning with tropospheric constraints from data-driven numerical weather prediction model

Geo-spatial Information Science
Accurate priori tropospheric knowledge is advantageous for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise point positioning (PPP), which significantly influences both convergence time and the accuracy of tropospheric delay estimations.

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 ...

Residuals of Tropospheric Delays from GNSS Data and Ray-Tracing as a Potential Indicator of Rain and Clouds

Remote Sensing, 2018
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is commonly recognized by its all-weather capability. However, observations depend on atmospheric conditions which requires the induced tropospheric delay to be estimated as an unknown parameter.
