GPS estimates of integral precipital water vapor (IPWV) are compared with simultaneous measurements of collocated Water Vapor Radiometers (WVR), as well as atmospheric refraction models for validation of GPS for meteorological applications.
Based on a one year data set of continuous GPS estimates and WVR observations at ETH Zurich a standard deviation of 1.54 mm and an offset of 0.54 mm IPWV is found between the two techniques. The analysis of several dedicated observation campaigns carried out at different sites in Europe and on Hawaii revealed offsets between GPS estimates and WVR observations.
The instrumental methods are also compared with a numerical model of the troposphere using ground meteorological observations and radiosondes from the station Payerne of the Swiss meteorological network (ANETZ). The modeling results, obtained with a software package performing four-dimensional interpolations by collocation yield a standard deviation of 2.88 mm and a bias of 2.23 mm IPWV with respect to the GPS derived time series of IPWV. Furthermore a clear seasonal dependency of the GPS - WVR differences is recognized. Mainly the periods dominated by strong fluctuations of water vapor during summer and autumn months degrade the agreement between the two techniques.
Because of the high correlation between GPS estimated tropospheric parameters and the height component, potential error sources are investigated.
The accuracy of GPS-derived IPWV in near real-time for consideration in weather forecasting is degraded due to insufficient satellite orbit quality. Investigations on the impact of implementing predicted orbit information on GPS water vapor retrievals showed that the accuracy degrades by a factor of about 2 compared to results obtained with final precise orbits as released by the International GPS Service (IGS) about two weeks after the observations.
Finally the potential of GPS for resolving three-dimensional distributions of tropospheric water vapor by means of the tomographic technique is investigated and applied within this work. For this purpose a software package called AWATOS (Atmospheric WAter vapor TOmography Software) was developed. In order to validate the tomographic approach a dedicated field experiment was carried out on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA. Tomographic results based on the extremely dense Continuous GPS (CGPS) network in the Mt. Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcano area are presented. They are compared to other independent techniques, such as radiosondes, Water Vapor Radiometers, and a high resolution solar spectrometer.Numéro de notice : 13061 Affiliation des auteurs : non IGN Autre URL associée : http://dx.doi.org/10.3929/ethz-a-003884306 Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Thèse étrangère DOI : 10.3929/ethz-a-003884306 En ligne : https://www.sgc.ethz.ch/sgc-volumes/sgk-61.pdf Format de la ressource électronique : URL Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=54862 Réservation
