Monitoring water vapour with GNSS during a heavy rainfall event in the Spanish Mediterranean area

The Spanish Mediterranean area is periodically affected by torrential rainfall events during autumn. In September 2012, one of these episodes took place with up to 50 mm of rain in a 1-hour period and with more than 300 mm in 12 hours. This study shows the spatial and temporal variability of the atm...
