Variability of GPS-Based Precipitable Water Vapor over Antarctica: Comparison Between Observations and Predictions
Abstract: This paper presents observations of precipitable water vapor (PWV) from the Global Positioning System (GPS) signals and the surface meteorological measurements. Three stations in Antarctica that are Scott Base (SBA), Casey (CAS1), Macquarie Island (MAC1) and Syowa (SYOG) were taken as the...
