The two-stage correction model combines data from a Numerical Weather Model (NWM) and precise ZTDs estimated from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) permanent stations in regional networks. The first-stage correction is generated using the background NWM forecast only. The second-stage correction results from an optimal combination of the background model data and GNSS (near) real-time tropospheric products. The optimum correction is achieved when using NWM for the hydrostatic delay modeling and for vertical scaling, while GNSS products are used for correcting the non-hydrostatic delay. The method is assessed in several variants including study of the combination of NWM and GNSS data, spatial densification of the original NWM grid, and GNSS ZTD densification using tropospheric linear horizontal gradients. The first-stage correction can be characterized by overall accuracy of about 10 mm for ZTD (1-sigma). The second-stage correction supported with GNSS tropospheric products improved the first-stage correction by a factor of 2–4 in terms of the ZTD accuracy and by a factor of 2.5 in terms of its spatio-temporal stability.

The development of NWP models with faster assimilation cycles, e.g., 1-h assimilation cycle in the rapid update cycle NWP model, has increased the interest of the meteorological community toward sub-hour ZTD estimates. The suitability of real-time ZTD estimates obtained from three different precise point positioning software packages has been assessed by comparing them with the state-of-the-art IGS final troposphere product as well as collocated radiosonde (RS) observations. The ZTD estimates obtained by BNC2.7 show a mean bias of 0.21 cm, and those obtained by the G-Nut/Tefnut software library show a mean bias of 1.09 cm to the IGS final troposphere product. In comparison with the RS-based ZTD, the BNC2.7 solutions show mean biases between 1 and 2 cm, whereas the G-Nut/Tefnut solutions show mean biases between 2 and 3 cm with the RS-based ZTD, and the ambiguity float and ambiguity fixed solutions obtained by PPP-Wizard have mean biases between 6 and 7 cm with the references. The large biases in the time series from PPP-Wizard are due to the fact that this software has been developed for kinematic applications and hence does not apply receiver antenna eccentricity and phase center offset (PCO) corrections on the observations. Application of the eccentricity and PCO corrections to the a priori coordinates has resulted in a 66 % reduction of bias in the PPP-Wizard solutions. The biases are found to be stable over the whole period of the comparison, which are criteria (rather than the magnitude of the bias) for the suitability of ZTD estimates for use in NWP nowcasting. A millimeter-level impact on the ZTD estimates has also been observed in relation to ambiguity resolution. As a result of a comparison with the established user requirements for NWP nowcasting, it was found that both the G-Nut/Tefnut solutions and one of the BNC2.7 solutions meet the threshold requirements, whereas one of the BNC2.7 solution and both the PPP-Wizard solutions currently exceed this threshold.
