Abstract(in English) In recent years, GPS meteorology research is actively done in Japan. The Geographical Survey Institute (GSI) operates a nationwide permanent GPS array named GEONET, which consists of more than 1,000 receivers. GEONET has a great possibility to improve weather forecast, especially small-scale heavy rainfall prediction. Here, outline of water vapor analysis method, accuracy of GPS derived precipitable water vapor, some case study on use of GPS data to weather forecast, and research on water vapor profile analysis by GPS, are described.
