Broadband meteorological sensors co-located with GPS receivers for geophysical and atmospheric measurements

Meteorological sensors are successfully used for precise geophysical measurements by correcting for errors caused by atmospheric delays of GPS transmissions. These delays also are used as weather-related signals to calculate integrated precipitable water vapor in the atmosphere. If the meteorological sensors used with these GPS networks include broadband barometers, then it may be possible to detect or forecast a wide range of phenomena such as fog, rainfall, floods, storms, aircraft wake turbulence and wind shear, as well as seismic and nuclear events.
