Short summary
Here, we present estimates of diurnal and semidiurnal harmonics of variations in integrated water vapor content (IWV) according to GPS data in the Volga–Ural region during 2013–2015. Comparison of diurnal cycle from GPS data and ERA-Interim reanalysis has revealed significant differences in the phase. It is found that, as a result of evaporation from underlying surface and convective lifting of moist air, the summer diurnal variations in IWV and surface density of water vapor are in antiphase.
