GPS meteorology is a branch of meteorology that utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to improve weather forecasting and enhance our understanding of atmospheric phenomena. It involves using GPS signals that pass through the Earth's atmosphere to gather data about atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Here’s a breakdown of how GPS meteorology works and its applications: 1. **GPS Signal Propagation**: When GPS signals travel from satellites to receivers on the ground, they pass through the atmosphere.
