. Tropospheric delay is an important error source in space geodetictechniques. The temporal and spatial variations of the zenith wet delay (ZWD)are very large and thus limit the accuracy of tropospheric delay modelling.Thus, it is worthwhile undertaking research aimed at constructing a preciseZWD model. Based on the analysis of vertical variations of ZWD, we dividedthe troposphere into three height intervals (below 2 km, 2 to 5 km, and 5to 10 km) and determined the fitting functions for the ZWD within theseheight intervals. The global empirical ZWD model HZWD, which considers theperiodic variations of ZWD with a spatial resolution of 5 ∘ × 5 ∘ , is established using the ECMWF ZWD profiles from 2001 to 2010.Validated by the ECMWF ZWD data in 2015, the precision of the ZWD estimationin the HZWD model over the three height intervals are improved by 1.4, 0.9,and 1.2 mm, respectively, compared to that of the currently best GPT2w model(23.8, 13.1, and 2.6 mm). The test results from ZWD data from 318 radiosondestations show that the root mean square error (RMSE) in the HZWD model overthe three height intervals was reduced by 2 % (0.6 mm), 5 %(0.9 mm), and 33 % (1.7 mm), respectively, compared to the GPT2w model(30.1, 15.8, and 3.5 mm) over the three height intervals. In addition, thespatial and temporal stabilities of the HZWD model are higher than those ofGPT2w and UNB3m.
