Ground-Based GPS for Climate and Numerical Weather Prediction Applications

Magazine article, 2003

The aim of this paper is to summarize ongoing activities within COST Action 716 - a voluntary collaboration between 15 European countries. The basic idea is to prepare the grounds for an operational observation system providing information on water vapour variations in the atmosphere above continuously operating GPS networks in Europe. The activity requires a close cooperation between scientists in the areas of geodesy and meteorology.
