Abstract: Estimates of the zenith wet delay which are derived from GPS observational data analysis can be converted into the value of precipitable water vapour. This is important for the climate modelling and weather forecast. For this purpose, the weighted mean temperature of the atmosphere is required. We present some estimates of the precipitable water vapour for GPS observations in Kyiv.
