Introduction

Datasets of four GPS stations in ThailandThere are now available. The sites are : Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nongkhai and Ubon Ratchathani. Prof. Satomura, M., Shizuoka Univ., Japan and Dr. Nakaegawa, T., Meteorological Research Institute, Japan provided 3-hourly and daily PWV datasets.

Notes
  • The values are calculated from GPS measurements results and TMD meteorological observation. TMD values are not shown here (See TMD Routine Observation )
  • The software used to calculate PWV values is GAMIT. Please be careful that this is different from the program (GIPSY) used by Dr. Nakaegawa to obtain daily PWV values .
