Application of GPS data on Severe Weather Forecasting To investigate correlation between PWV and VIL, and hence its role in lightning/damaging winds monitoring/nowcasting Summer Internship at the Hong Kong Observatory 2006 Law Ka Hei (CUHK/PHY/3) Supervisor: Linus Yeung

Motivation Project Goal  Use PWV for severe weather nowcasting PWV - Precipitable Water Vapor  Represent amount of water vapor in an atmospheric column VIL - Vertically Integrated Liquid  Represent amount of liquid water in an atmospheric column  Highly related to rainfall
