De Mazière contact: Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium Géosciences Montpellier University of Liège GNSS meteorology gives Integrated Water Vapour contents (IWV) - Continuously - For any weather conditions Using slant IWV, can allow to resolve the spatial structure and temporal behaviour of tropospheric water vapour Limitation due to network geometry, initial conditions and accuracy of slant IWV (not treated in this study) To try to answer the following question: How can we improve resolution for a better detection of tropospheric humidity structures which contribute in the initiation associated to a deep convection? use of GNSS horizontal gradients to improve resolution We will focus on GNSS observations (post-processing with a time resolution of 5 minutes), using Belgian Dense Network (baseline from 5 to 0 km ) Comparison and use of radiosonde and IASI observations, and ALARO model of D humidity fields /9
