Total Column Water Vapor: Integrated Water Vapor from GNSS stations
Years of record
- to
Total Column Water Vapor (TCWV) or Integrated Water Vapor (IWV) is a key measure of the quantity of moisture held in the atmosphere at given locations. Water vapor is a key variable for understanding the moist energetics of the atmosphere and therefore the circulation as…
