Short summary
In this paper, we propose an improved pixel-based water vapor tomography model, which uses layered optimal polynomial functions by adaptive training for water vapor retrieval. Under different scenarios, tomography results show that the new model outperforms the traditional one by reducing the root-mean-square error (RMSE), and this improvement is more pronounced, at 5.88 % in voxels without the penetration of GNSS rays. The improved model also has advantages in more convenient expression.
