This paper deals with the retrieval of integrated water vapor (IWV) from the zenith tropospheric delay estimated by precisely processing GPS observations at IEODO ocean research station in the East China Sea. A comparison of GPS-IWV with the radiosonde profiling from June and November in 2014 was made to confirm the method and the procedure, adopted for the IWV determination. A series of analysis of these IWV values was performed to capture characteristics of their seasonal and diurnal variations. Furthermore, the troposphere around the ocean research station during typhoon events was spatiotemporally analyzed by including thirteen GPS sites over the Korean Peninsula, indicating correlation between the typhoon location and the tropospheric density.

The atmospheric meteorology parameters of the earth, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity, strongly influence the propagation of signals in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs). The propagation delays associated with GNSS signals can be modeled and explained based on the atmospheric temperature, pressure, and humidity, as well as the locations of the satellites and receivers. In this paper, we propose an optimized and simplified low cost GNSS base weather station that can be used to provide a global estimate of the integrated water vapor value. Our algorithm can be used to measure the zenith tropospheric delay based on the measured propagation delays in the received signals. We also present the results of the data measurements performed at our station located in the Tlemcen region of Algeria.

In this paper, we analyzed the physical and thermodynamic characteristics of fog by using the integrated water vapor (IWV) from Global Positioning System (GPS) networks and the regular observation data of meteorological stations in GPS sites. The cases of a radiation and an advection fog were selected as samples, the conversions of water substance from the water vapor to cloud water in fog were detected by the Bulk Water-Continuity Model, and the pattern analysis is adapted on GPS IWV, temperature, wind and relative humidity. Under the specific hypothesis (saturation and stable), GPS IWV could detect quantitatively the phase changing between the water vapor and cloud water content with condensation/evaporation during the formation and dissipation of fog. After it reaches to the saturation, the relative humidity can be a limited indicator for fog. However, GPS IWV can detect the status change of fog even after the saturation. It has indicated that GPS IWV could be a new observing technique for the processes of the fog formation and the dissipation.

Since the accuracy of precipitable/integrated water vapor estimates from GNSS measurements is proportional to the accuracy of water vapor Weighted Mean Temperature Model (WMTM), the WMTM is a significant formulation in the retrieval of precipitable water vapor from zenith wet delay of GNSS signal. The purpose of this paper is to develop available the WMTM to apply for GNSS meteorology in the region of Algeria, by using the Algerian radiosonde network in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). It can be concluded that the available GNSS precipitable water vapor which is retrieved by the developed Algerian Weighted Mean Temperature Equation (AWMTE) can be useful technique for sensing of water vapor in the Algeria, after Algerian Continuously Operating Reference System (CORS) will be constructed.

In this study, global positioning system (GPS)-derived precipitable water vapor (PWV) and microwave radiometer (MWR)-measured integrated water vapor (IWV) were compared and their characteristics were analyzed. Comparing those two quantities for two years from August 2009, we found that GPS PWV estimates were larger than MWR IWV. The average difference over the entire test period was 1.1 mm and the standard deviation was 1.2 mm. When the discrepancies between GPS PWV and MWR IWV were analyzed depending on season, the average difference was 0.7 mm and 1.9 mm in the winter and summer months, respectively. Thus, the average difference was about 2.5 times larger in summer than that in winter. However, MWR IWV measurements in the winter months were over-estimated than those in the summer months as the water vapor content got larger. The results of the diurnal analysis showed that MWR IWV was underestimated in the daytime, showing a difference of 0.8 mm. In the early morning hours, MWR IWV has a tendency to be over-estimated, with a difference of 1.3 mm with respect to GPS PWV.

As the GPS signals propagate from the GPS satellites to the receivers on the ground, they are delayed by the atmosphere. The tropospheric delay consists of two components. The hydrostatic (or "dry") component that is dependent on the dry air gasses in the atmosphere and accounts for approximately 90% of the delay. And the "wet" component that depends on the moisture content of the atmosphere and accounts for the remaining effect of the delay. The Zenith Hydrostatic Delay (ZHD) can be calculated from the local surface pressure. The Total Zenith Delay (TZD) will be estimated and the wet component extracted later. Integrated water Vapor (IWV) gives the total amount of water vapor that a signal from the zenith direction would encounter. Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) is the IWV scaled by the density of water. The quality of this PWV has been verified by comparison with radiosonde data(at Osan). We processed data for JULY 2 and JULY 14, 1999 from four stations(Cheju, Kwangju, Suwon, Daegu). We found the coincidence between PWV of the estimations using GPS and PWV of pressing the radiosonde data. The average of the difference between PWV using GPS and PWV using radiosonde was 3.77 mm(Std. ＝ $\pm$0.013 mm) and 2.70 mm(Std. = $\pm$0.0011 mm) at Suwon & Kwangju.

The observation error of satellite radiation data that assimilated into the Korean Integrated Model (KIM) was diagnosed by applying the Hollingsworth and Lönnberg and Desrozier techniques commonly used. The magnitude and correlation of the observation error, and the degree of contribution for the satellite radiance data were calculated. The observation errors of the similar device, such as Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A shows different characteristics. The model resolution accounts for only 1% of the observation error, and seasonal variation is not significant factor, either. The observation error used in the KIM is amplified by 3-8 times compared to the diagnosed value or standard deviation of first-guess departures. The new inflation value was calculated based on the correlation between channels and the ratio of background error and observation error. As a result of performing the model sensitivity evaluation by applying the newly inflated observation error of ATMS, the error of temperature and water vapor analysis field were decreased. And temperature and water vapor forecast field have been significantly improved, so the accuracy of precipitation prediction has also been increased by 1.7% on average in Asia especially.

한반도에 막대한 피해를 입힌 태풍 RUSA는 2002년 8월 30일에서 9월 1일간 한반도를 지나갔다. 이 태풍 RUSA가 진행하는 동안 GPS 수신 자료와 기상 자료를 이용하여 대류권에서의 습윤 지연량을 산출하고, 이 습윤지연량을 천정방향의 수증기량(IWV)으로 환산하여 이 수증기량으로부터 PWV(Precipitable Water Vapor)를 산출하였다. 본 연구에서는 서울, 원주, 서산, 상주, 전주, 청주, 대구, 울진, 진주, 대전, 목포, 속초, 제주의 13개 GPS 상시관측소 데이터를 이용하여 PWV를 산출하였다. 산출한 PWV의 시계열 분석을 통해 실제 강수량과 비교한 결과 태풍 RUSA가 진행하는 동안 PWV가 정점을 보이는 부근에서 실제 강수량이 발생하였다. 또한, 태풍 RUSA의 이동 경로와 PWV가 최고조를 이루는 시간을 분석한 결과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. GPS 자료로부터 산정된 PWV를 이용하여 tomograph를 작성하고 GMS 위성 영상과 비교한 결과 매우 근접한 결과를 얻을수 있었으므로 기상 예보를 위한 수치예보모델로의 활용 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.

The exciplex fluorescence technique with the TMPD (tetamethyl-Ρ-phenylene-diamine) / naphthalene dopant system was applied in a combustion-type constant-volume spray chamber. A detailed set of calibration experiments has been performed in order to quantify the TMPD fluorescence signal. It has been demonstrated that the TMPD fluorescence intensity was directly proportional to concentration, was independent of the chamber pressure, and was not sensitive to quenching by either water vapor or carbon dioxide. Using a dual heated-jet experiment, the temperature dependence of TMPD fluorescence up to 1000 K was measured. The temperature field in the spray images was determined using a simple mixing model, and an iterative solution method was used to determine the concentration and temperature field including the additional effects of the laser sheet extinction. The integrated fuel vapor concentration compared favorably with the measured amount of injected fuel when all of the liquid fuel had evaporated.

GPS 위성으로부터의 신호는 위성과 지상의 수신기 사이의 경로에 걸쳐서 누적된 양의 수증기나 가강수량으로 복원하기 위해 이용되고 있다. GPS 위성 신호의 대류권 지연으로부터 가강수량으로 복원하기 위해서는 대류권의 총 지연량으로부터 실제 습윤 지연량을 계산하기 위하여 표면 기압 관측을 통해 결정된 실제 건조 지연량의 계산이 필요하다. 그러나 기압 정보를 얻기 위한 기압계가 모든 GPS 상시관측소와 동일한 지점에 위치하고 있지 않기 때문에 지상 기상 관측소로부터 획득한 해면 경정된 기압 정보를 이용하곤 한다. 이러한 기압의 직접 이용은 GPS를 이용한 수증기 복원 능력을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에 적합한 기압의 역해면 경정 보정 방안을 제시하고 이를 이용한 GPS 수증기의 정확도를 레디오존데 PWV와 평가하고 GPS로 추정한 수증기의 복원 능력의 개선 방안을 제시하였다.
