Abstract :
Results of moisture measurements of the troposphere via GPS over Kharkiv are presented. Results of GPS measurements are compared to different models of ZWD in different seasons and different weather conditions. Saastamoinen and Hophield models are more preferable have for summer, spring and autumn periods. This fact confirms some features of the regional characteristics of the troposphere which are associated with the characteristics of air circulation and temperature control.
