Evaluation of Zenith Tropospheric Delay Derived from Ray-Traced VMF3 Product over the West African Region Using GNSS Observations by Samuel Osah, Akwasi A. Acheampong, Collins Fosu, Isaac Dadzie

“…The IGS provides highly accurate and highly reliable daily time-series Zenith Tropospheric Delay (ZTD) products using data from the member sites towards the use of GNSS for precise geodetic, climatological, and meteorological applications. However, if for reasons like poor internet connectivity, equipment failure, and power outages, the IGS station is inaccessible or malfunctioning, and gaps are created in the data archive resulting in degrading the quality of the ZTD and precipitable water vapour (PWV) estimation. …”

Forecast Customization System (FOCUS): A Multimodel Ensemble-Based Seasonal Climate Forecasting Tool for the Homogeneous Climate Zones of Myanmar by Itesh Dash, Masahiko Nagai, Indrajit Pal

“…Based on the homogeneity in terms of the rainfall received annually, the country was divided into six climatological zones. Three different operational MME techniques, namely, (a) arithmetic mean (AM-MME), (b) weighted average (WA-MME), and (c) supervised principal component regression (PCR-MME), were used and built-in to the tool developed. …”
