note = "Funding Information: Under the contract, NOAA is also not permitted to dissemi nate these data to the research community. Thus, only the Suomi-net website (https://suominet.ucar .edu), a government research group funded by the National Science Foundation, currently provides near real-time processed GNSS data in the form of PWV and only for a subset of the available ground based GNSS sites. Because Suominet is a research project, we are not assured of the longevity of this data source. It is also unclear who owns the archival rights to these data going forward, threatening a stable dataset of column water vapor with a long record at many locations throughout the United States. In addition, the practice of making data available only to the operational community and not the research community is divisive and hinders the transition of innovation from research to operations. The lesson learned from the privatization of GNSS data processing is that NOAA must be more diligent when negotiating contracts with private vendors, with contracts",
