The results of ZTD have high accurate and reliable as IGS and all sites with varying locations show obvious variety characteristics of Chinese mainland. Meanwhile, the precipitable water vapor(PWV) correlation coefficients between GPS observation and upper air sounding is close to 1, and the comparison of GPS-derived PWV and observed PWV from meteorological sites indicating GPS observation data generated in CMONOC project applied to the weather forecast research is feasible. In addition, based on all stations covered the whole Chinese land area and using interpolation algorithms, we make contour plots of PWV distribution per hour. We observe obvious feature that the precipitable water in north and western area is less than south and east area all over this year. High latitudes area may be dry and low latitudes area is wet.展开更多
