Short summary
We presented the retrieval of atmospheric precipitable water vapor (PWV) from shipborne multi-Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements conducted on the research vessel (R/V) ISABU during the summer in tropical cyclone-prone regions of the Northwest Pacific. Validation of the GNSS-derived PWV against radiosonde, geostationary orbit satellite (GK2A-AMI), and low Earth orbit satellite (MetOp-IASI) observations confirmed its reliability for monitoring PWV over oceanic regions.
