Validation of SCIAMACHY AMC-DOAS water vapour columns
A first validation of water vapour total column amounts derived from measurements of the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) in the visible spectral region has been performed. For this purpose, SCIAMACHY water vapour data have been determined for the year 2003 using an extended version of the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) metho...
متن کاملRetrieval of daytime total columnar water vapour from MODIS measurements over land surfaces
A retrieval of total column water vapour (TCWV) from MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) measurements is presented. The algorithm is adapted from a retrieval for MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) from Lindstrot et al. (2012). It obtains the TCWV for cloud-free scenes above land at a spatial resolution of 1 km× 1 km and provides uncertainties on a pixel-by-pixel ba...
متن کاملWater vapour profiles by ground-based FTIR spectroscopy: study for an optimised retrieval and its validation
The sensitivity of ground-based instruments measuring in the infrared with respect to tropospheric water vapour content is generally limited to the lower and middle troposphere. The large vertical gradients and variabilities avoid a better sensitivity for the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UT/LS) region. In this work an optimised retrieval is presented and it is demonstrated that compare...
متن کاملMonitoring and Validation of Water Vapour Products from Envisat Mwr and Meris
ENVISAT Microwave Radiometer (MWR) and Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) water vapour products are received, monitored and validated at ECMWF. The corresponding model total column water vapour (TCWV) product is used for the verification. The MWR products are generally of good quality since late November 2003. However, there are several apparently wrong measurements due to the sea i...
متن کاملApproach to the Cross-Validation of MIPAS and CHAMP Temperature and Water Vapour Profiles
The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a space-borne limb viewing mid-infrared high-resolution spectrometer launched on ENVISAT into polar orbit on 1 March 2002. Water vapour and temperature profiles are retrievable from spectral data in an altitude range from approximately 5 km up to the mesosphere. Complementing the operational analysis of ESA, a non-operatio...
