In this paper, a simple algorithm is proposed to perform the nowcasting of rainfall in the tropical region. The algorithm applies global positioning system-derived precipitable water vapor (PWV) values and its second derivative for the short-term prediction of rainfall. The proposed algorithm incorp...
