Abstract :
[en] Atmospheric water vapour is a primary greenhouse gas and plays an important role in weather forecasting and climate monitoring. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals experience a propagation delay, which is related to the amount of water vapour in the lower atmosphere. Hence GNSS observations can be processed to estimate this delay with millimetre-level accuracy and together with meteorological data can be used to compute the amount of atmospheric water vapour on various temporal and spatial scales.
