  5. Homestead (SA14) Data Collection

  6. ARM CF (SG01) Data Collection

  7. French Station (BLAC) Data Collection

  8. GPS Data Products

  9. GPS PW and SW and Descriptions PWV SW • SW is the integrated water vapor along single GPS ray paths • PWV is the average (estimate) of all SW observations in a cone scaled to zenith • Simultaneous observations along 8-12 GPS ray paths • GPS and WVR sensed SW and PWV agree to ~1.5 mm rms

  10. Precipitable Water Vapor

  11. Slant Water Vapor

  12. Example of SW During Storm

  13. International H20 Project Tomography Solution

  14. Conclusions • 41 GPS Stations in IHOP_2002 Region • Homestead station had high percentage of data availability • PW (30 min), SW (2 min), and Tomography Solutions Available • All GPS data are processed. PW data are available at JOSS web site. If someone is interested in SW and/or tomography data, they should contact me directly (braunj@ucar.edu).
