Which instrument measures precipitable water continuously?
Answer: C
The wet delay in navigation satellite signals passing through the atmosphere is proportional to the integrated water vapour, so a network of geodetic receivers doubles as a humidity observing system. It provides continuous measurement at a few minute intervals, unlike a radiosonde which gives two profiles a day. The technique was a by-product of geodesy and is now assimilated operationally.
