Objectives of project:
(i) To develop site-specific model for estimation of PWV using GPS;
(ii) To develop amodel for forecastingof PWV (based on GPSandgroundobservation data)..
The precipitable water vapour is important for development of climate models, which are major tools of weather forecasting. Near real time estimation / short term forecasting of precipitation will help in preventing/ minimisenatural disasters due to landslide, flood etc. Forecasting of availability/scarcity of waterwill helpforintegrated planning towards making available drinking water andagricultural growth & development
