The viability of the GPS precipitable water vapor In detecting drought-causing El Niño-southern oscillation at the Borneo Island

This paper explores the viability of incorporating GPS precipitable water vapor (PWV) and sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTa) at Niño 3, 3.4, and 4 regions in detecting drought-causing El Niño-Southern Oscillation. The proposed method consists of two tests, which reveal the beginning, ending, a...
