Delay of the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal due to atmospheric water vapor is a major source of error in GPS surveying. Improved vertical accuracy is important for sea level and polar isostasy measurements, geodesy, normal fault motion, subsidence, earthquake studies, air and ground-based gravimetry, ice dynamics, and volcanology. We conducted a GPS survey using water vapor radiometers (WVRs) pointed toward GPS satellites to correct for azimuthal variations in water vapor. We report 2.6 mm vertical precision on a 50-km baseline for 19 solution days. Kalman filter or least-square corrections to the same data do not account for azimuthal distribution of water vapor and are degraded by 70%. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993 |
