Abstract
A water vapor observation apparatus includes: a determining unit that determines whether or not to use a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal received by a receiving apparatus mounted on a mobile object and receiving the GNSS signal for estimation of precipitable water in accordance with a positional relation between the receiving apparatus and a GNSS satellite transmitting the GNSS signal at time of reception of the GNSS signal by the receiving apparatus; and an estimating unit that estimates precipitable water representing a water vapor content in atmosphere based on the GNSS signal received by the receiving apparatus or discards the estimated precipitable water in accordance with a result of the determining.
Claims10
A water vapor observation method by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether or not to use a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal received by a receiving apparatus for estimation of precipitable water in accordance with a positional relation between the receiving apparatus and a GNSS satellite at time of reception of the GNSS signal by the receiving apparatus, the receiving apparatus being mounted on a mobile object and receiving the GNSS signal, the GNSS satellite transmitting the GNSS signal;
- and
- estimating precipitable water representing a water vapor content in atmosphere based on the GNSS signal received by the receiving apparatus or discarding the estimated precipitable water in accordance with a result of the determining.
A water vapor observation apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory storing processing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the processing instructions to:
- determine whether or not to use a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal received by a receiving apparatus for estimation of precipitable water in accordance with a positional relation between the receiving apparatus and a GNSS satellite at time of reception of the GNSS signal by the receiving apparatus, the receiving apparatus being mounted on a mobile object and receiving the GNSS signal, the GNSS satellite transmitting the GNSS signal;
- and
- estimate precipitable water representing a water vapor content in atmosphere based on the GNSS signal received by the receiving apparatus or discard the estimated precipitable water in accordance with a result of the determining.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a computer program is recorded, the program comprising instructions for causing an information processing apparatus to realize processes to:
- determine whether or not to use a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal received by a receiving apparatus for estimation of precipitable water in accordance with a positional relation between the receiving apparatus and a GNSS satellite at time of reception of the GNSS signal by the receiving apparatus, the receiving apparatus being mounted on a mobile object and receiving the GNSS signal, the GNSS satellite transmitting the GNSS signal;
- and
- estimate precipitable water representing a water vapor content in atmosphere based on the GNSS signal received by the receiving apparatus or discard the estimated precipitable water in accordance with a result of the determining.
