Evaluation of balloon and satellite water vapour measurements in the Southern tropical and subtropical UTLS during the HIBISCUS campaign
Balloon water vapour in situ and remote measurements in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) obtained during the HIBISCUS campaign around 20 S in Brazil in February–March 2004 using a tunable diode laser (μSDLA), a surface acoustic wave (SAW) and a Vis-NIR solar occultation spectrometer (SAOZ) on a long duration balloon, have been used for evaluating the performances of ...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Evaluation of balloon and satellite water vapour measurements in theSouthern tropical UTLS during the HIBISCUS
The authors combine balloon-borne in situ measurements of water vapour in the tropical tropopause region during the HIBISCUS campaign with observational data of several satellite instruments. Although the performed measurements are of large scientific value, they are not presented well in the paper. The approach of evaluating different types of water vapour measurements is diluted by the way th...
متن کاملRetrieval of water vapor vertical distributions in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere from SCIAMACHY limb measurements
This study describes the retrieval of water vapor vertical distributions in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) altitude range from space-borne observations of the scattered solar light made in limb viewing geometry. First results using measurements from SCIAMACHY (Scanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY) aboard ENVISAT (Environmental Satellite) are...
متن کاملIncrease in upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric aerosol levels and its potential connection with Asian pollution
Satellite observations have shown that the Asian Summer Monsoon strongly influences the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) aerosol morphology through its role in the formation of the Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer (ATAL). Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II solar occultation and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar observations s...
متن کاملA novel tropopause-related climatology of ozone profiles
A new ozone climatology, based on ozonesonde and satellite measurements, spanning the altitude region between the earth’s surface and ∼60 km is presented (TpO3 climatology). This climatology is novel in that the ozone profiles are categorized according to calendar month, latitude and local tropopause heights. Compared to the standard latitude–month categorization, this presentation improves the...
