Abstract

This paper presents the innovative Compressive Sensing (CS) concept for tomographic reconstruction of 3D neutrospheric water vapor fields using data from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR). The Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) input data are derived from simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting modeling system. We apply a Compressive Sensing based approach for tomographic inversion. Using the Cosine transform, a sparse representation of the water vapor field is obtained. The new aspects of this work include both the combination of GNSS and InSAR data for water vapor tomography and the sophisticated CS estimation: The combination of GNSS and InSAR data shows a significant improvement in 3D water vapor reconstruction; and the CS estimation produces better results than a traditional Tikhonov regulari-zation with l2 norm penalty term.
