Abstract:
Atmospheric weighted mean temperature, Tm, is an important parameter in the Earth’s atmospheric water vapor sounding with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technique. In this study, considering spatial distribution, time-varying characteristics, and the correlation with surface meteorological variables, Tm modeling is realized based on the random forest (RF) machine learning and global atmospheric profiles from radiosonde (RS) data and GPS radio occultations (RO) measurements. Comparisons of modeled results and numerical integrations of atmospheric profiles in 2020 show that the RF-based Tm model with surface meteorological parameters generally obtains a good accuracy with overall RMS errors of 2.8 K in comparison with RS data and 2.6 K in contrast to GPS RO data.
