Evaluation of Satellite and Reanalysis Precipitable Water Vapor Data Sets Against Radiosonde Observations in Central Asia

Abstract Central Asia is facing severe water shortages and conflicts. The spatiotemporal variations of precipitable water vapor (PWV) are important aspects in understanding the water cycle and water resources. However, station observations in central Asia are limited and the performance of satellite...
