Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) make it possible to obtain estimates of atmospheric integral water vapor with high temporal and spatial resolution. This is a promising technology for all-weather monitoring of mesoscale convective processes due to the growing number of hazardous phenomena associated with atmospheric convection. The paper shows solution to the problem of identifying the relationship between integral water vapor of the atmosphere measured by GNSS receivers and convective processes characteristics, on the basis of monitoring data in Kazan. Kazan University has received long series of 2009–2021 GNSS monitoring data for the atmosphere in Kazan with a time resolution of 5 minutes. The results of GNSS monitoring were compared with convective processes intensity indicators for the entire observation period. To estimate these convective processes, we used physical and statistical parameters of instability calculated from meteorological parameters presented as ERA5 reanalysis data obtained by ECMWF model. We used such convective processes indicators as convective available potential energy, convective inhibition, amount of precipitation, upward vertical velocity, vortex generation parameter, and indices Vertical Totals, Total Totals, K-Index, WMAXSHEAR. It is shown that statistical characteristics of atmospheric integral water vapor vary significantly depending on CAPE, WMAXSHEAR, upward vertical velocity, and vortex generation parameter. It was found that the maximum integral water vapor is reached 30–60 minutes earlier than the maximum convective indices variation for the characteristic variation time scales of 2–4 hours.
Keywords: GNSS, atmospheric convection, atmospheric integral water vapor content, ERA5 reanalysis
