Short summary
A multi-source water vapor tomography model is developed using GPS (Global Positioning System), radiosonde, WVR (water vapor radiometer), NWP (numerical weather prediction), AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) sunphotometer and synoptic stations' data. Results show that the assimilation of multi-source data can increase the quality of the tomographic solution. Evaluation shows that the tomography model is robust during heavy rain conditions, and it can contribute to severe weather forecasting.
