Tropospheric delay models based on GNSS observations are essential for studying tropospheric changes. However, the uneven distribution of GNSS stations reduces the accuracy of GNSS tropospheric delay models in remote areas. Moreover, the accuracy of the tropospheric delay calculated by traditional models, which rely on meteorological parameters, is lower compared to the accuracy achieved by GNSS tropospheric models. At present, there are sufficient surface meteorological observation facilities around the world that can obtain surface meteorological parameters in real time. It is of great importance to make full use of the measured meteorological parameters to establish tropospheric correction models. Moreover, the empirical tropospheric models use free and open data, and one can obtain tropospheric parameters through the model without requiring any auxiliary information. We established a provincial real-time regional tropospheric fusion model using ground-based GNSS observations, a meteorological model, and empirical model data. Results showed that the tropospheric delay observations of the three models can be fused to establish a real-time tropospheric delay model with better accuracy and higher spatiotemporal resolution. The accuracy of Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) estimated by the fusion model reached 0.96/1.04/3.11 cm during the tropospheric quiet/active/typhoon period.
