Researchers studied how to calculate water vapor using GPS data in Wuhan. They found a strong correlation between GPS data and traditional weather measurements. A model was created to calculate water vapor directly from GPS data, which was accurate and reliable. This method can be used for short-term weather forecasting in areas without traditional weather stations.
