Abstract :
Atmospheric water vapour is the most variable component of the atmosphere. It plays a crucial role in hydrological cycles. Because of its temporal and spatial variability, accurate measurement of atmospheric water in meteorology. However, the Global Positioning System (GPS) offers detailed coverage, all weather and Therefore, exploring this potential to deliver atmospheric information is now termed GPS meteorology‘. This overview of global trend in GPS meteorology while discussing GPS meteorology research efforts in Malaysia. A current research activity towards realisation of operational use of GPS meteorology in Malaysia is also highlighted.
