Rocken, C., Van Hove, T. and Ware, R. (1997). Near real-time GPS sensing of atmospheric water vapor. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL03312. issn: 0094-8276.

We describe sensing of atmospheric column water vapor in near real-time using the Global Positioning System (GPS). We use predicted GPS orbits for automated computation of vertical column water vapor within 30 minutes of GPS data collection. Based on a 4 month comparison, near real-time GPS column water vapor agrees with radiosondes and radiometers within 2 mm rms. Our near real-time column water vapor data are posted hourly at www.unavco.ucar.edu. They are available for assimilation in numerical weather models and for other applications. ¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union
