GNSS atmospheric water vapor time series for NWP model assimilation
To evaluate the effectiveness of data
assimilation routines of the NWP model across the three MAGDA demonstration
sites in Romania, France, and Italy, six past case studies were chosen, two for
each site (further details are available here).
One of the NWP model inputs that are going to be used in MAGDA project is the
GNSS atmospheric water vapor content. For these 6 case studies, the values are
derived by processing the freely available data collected by the GNSS permanent
stations within the two NWP domains, using GReD’s Breva software, which was
extensively tested for water vapor retrieval in other previous projects.[1]
