Variation of GPS Precipitable Water over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: Possible Teleconnection Triggering Rainfall over the Yangtze River Valley

GPS technologies show many capabilities for monitoring atmospheric water vapor. This study uses GPS data from the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and Hubei GPS network to monitor precipitable water (PW) over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and over the middle Yangtze River Valley (YRV...
