SuomiNet II - Real-Time Water Vapor Sensing

Overview:

    SuomiNet (http://www.suominet.ucar.edu/) is a university-based GPS network providing real-time atmospheric sensing of atmospheric water vapor for research and education. The project is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and university cost-share, and is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). We present examples of GPS sensed precipitable water (PW) and slant delay measurements that have been available from SuomiNet since 1999, and describe plans for future development and operation of the network, including integration with other ground-based GPS networks in the U.S. and globally.
