【摘要】The feasibility of GPS precipitable water vapor (PWV) is discussed based on the comparison of Radiosonde and GPS PWV where the correlation coefficient is 0.94 and the RMS is 4.0 mm. PWV change in the Chinese mainland in 2004 is graphed with the gridding method of splines in tension, according to the GPS data of the crust monitor observation network in China, combined with relevant meteorology information. According to the distribution of the annual amount of rainfall in the country, it can be concluded that the total trend of the PWV is diminishing from the south-east coastland to the north-west inland. The PWV reaches its maximum during July and August, and the minimum is reached during January and February. According to the PWV, from high to low, all districts can be ranked as south-east coastland, the inland and the tableland. 【总页数】4页(265-268)
