Analysis of GNSS sensed precipitable water vapour and tropospheric gradients during the derecho event in Poland of 11th August 2017
Abstrakt
Nowadays, one of the techniques that meets the increasing requirements of meteorologist in terms of monitoring of severe weather events is global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), which can provide information about the tropospheric state independently of the weather conditions and even in real time. In this paper we present the usage of GNSS sensed tropospheric data to monitor sudden and intense weather events. Our analyses were performed on the example of a derecho event in Poland of 11th August 2017. We used GPS/GLONASS observations from 278 GNSS reference stations located in Poland and, using Bernese GNSS Software ver. 5.2, we estimated the zenith tropospheric delays (ZTD) and tropospheric gradients with 5 and 15-min intervals respectively. Next, using meteorological data from the synoptic stations, we estimated the precipitable water vapour (PWV) which gives information about the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere. By applying a dense network of GNSS receivers, we were able to create the PWV, rate of the PWV (ROP), and the tropospheric gradients maps, which in turn allowed us to monitor the derecho event. We also conducted case studies for the selected GNSS stations where a comparison between PWV, reflectivity, and microwave radiometer were performed. During the main phase of the event we obtained the maximum value of PWV equal to 52.1 mm at 20:30 UTC. We also acquired high agreement between the PWV/ROP maps and reflectivity derived from meteorological radars. This applies to both the direction and speed of the phenomena as well as the time and place of the occurrence of the main phase of the derecho. This was possible only owing to the use of data derived from the dense network of the GNSS receivers.
