Global Positioning System (GPS) is now very useful for meteorology and environmental sciences. This thesis focuses on the study of the water cycle (atmospheric and continental) in West Africa, as part of AMMA (African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses) and GHYRAF (Gravity and Hydrology in Africa) projects.In the first part, we analyze the precision of GPS solutions in Africa. The integrated water vapor (IWV) is especially important in understanding the key atmospheric processes of the monsoon from subdiurne to multiyear periods. We pay much attention to sources of errors and the strategy of GPS data processing. A recall of the main theoretical elements allows us to identify the major sources of error that may affect the GPS estimates. We q...
