The Setup and the Performances of L’aquila Raman Lidar and Standard Ptu and Pto3 Balloon Soundings for Envisat Validation
We report the design and the performances of a Raman lidar for monitoring the tropospheric aerosol backscattering and extinction coefficients, water vapor mixing ratio and cloud liquid water. After describing the system components, along with the current limitations and options for improvement, we report examples of observations. The PTU and PTO3 balloon soundings are carried on with standard i...
متن کاملSignatures of the 2-day wave and sudden stratospheric warmings in Arctic water vapour observed by ground-based microwave radiometry
The ground-based microwave radiometer MIAWARA-C recorded the upper stratospheric and lower mesospheric water vapour distribution continuously from June 2011 to March 2013 above the Arctic station of Sodankylä, Finland (67.4 N, 26.6 E) without major interruptions and offers water vapour profiles with temporal resolution of 1 h for average conditions. The water vapour time series of MIAWARA-C sho...
متن کاملAtmospheric Water Vapor Measurements: Comparison of Microwave Radiometry and Lidar
The NASAJGSFC Crustal Dynamics Project microwave water vapor radiometer 003) is evaluated in terms of measurements of the integrated precipitable water vapor content of a particular column of the troposphere. The measurements were taken during the Atmospheric Moisture Intercomparison Study (ATMIS) held at Wallops Island, Virginia, during April 1989. Various water vapor sensing instruments were ...
متن کاملThe STARTWAVE atmospheric water database
The STARTWAVE (STudies in Atmospheric Radiative Transfer and Water Vapour Effects) project aims to investigate the role which water vapour plays in the climate system, and in particular its interaction with radiation. Within this framework, an ongoing water vapour database project was set up which comprises integrated water vapour (IWV) measurements made over the last ten years by ground-based ...
متن کاملRotational Raman Temperature Lidar: New Experimental Results and Performance Expected for Future Ground-based and Airborne Systems
We present temperature measurements made with the RASC Raman lidar. This instrument, which was optimized for tropospheric and stratospheric temperature profiling, allows to the authors' best knowledge temperature measurements by lidar with at date highest accuracy and resolution in this altitude region. The data were measured with the rotational Raman technique with a laser wavelength of 532 nm...
