GPS Network for COPS German – French – Swiss Collaboration
GPS observations for COPS Scientific Objectives • Water vapor evolution: IWV fields, Tomography, Lge scale VS Sml scale studies • Investigations on precursors to convective initiation • Input to models for assimilation ? • Case study: validation of model water vapor fields, comparisons with other instruments
GPS observations for COPS GPS existing networks • SAPOS/GFZ in Germany • AGNES in Switzerland • RGP—TERA—RENAG in France
