Short summary
The delay of satellite signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System is valuable for numerical weather predictions, giving useful information about atmospheric constituents. These zenith total delay observations can help to better estimate the initial state of atmospheric analyses and to improve numerical weather forecasts. This study introduces the importance of GNSS zenith total delays, the detailed observation pre-processing method and weather forecast trials.
