Integrated water vapor above Ny Ålesund, Spitsbergen: a multi-sensor intercomparison

Abstract: Abstract. Water vapor is an important constituent of the atmosphere. Because of its abundance and its radiative properties it plays an important role for the radiation budget of the atmosphere and has major influence on weather and climate.In this work integrated water vapor (IWV) derived from the measurements of three satellite sensors, GOME, SCIA-MACHY and AMSU-B, two ground based sensors, a Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTIR), a microwave radiometer for O 3 (RAM) and IWV inferred from GPS zenith path dela… Show more

“…Finally, the result for Edwards shows a consistent, strong wet bias of TANSO-FTS for almost all coincidences (a tentative explanation is given in Section 5.3). Similar general features-overall dry bias with respect to ground-based instruments, reasonably small biases associated with large standard deviations, significant biases in high-humidity cases or cloudy conditions even if the measurements pass the cloud filters-have already been noted for other satellite instruments when compared to ground-based measurements (e.g., [15,[63][64][65]). …”

“…4 ppm). The measurement of tropospheric water vapour is therefore a demanding task (Pałm et al, 2010). No standard instrument can measure it everywhere accurately in three dimensions.…”

“…Moreover, several studies in the literature concentrate on a multi-sensor intercomparison at a single site (e.g. Pałm et al, 2010;Schneider et al, 2010;Buehler et al, 2012). In this paper, we will first focus on the mid-latitude site Brussels (Belgium), as a case study (see Sect.…”

“…Other instruments, also listed on the above site, have operated over periods of months to a decade (Table 1c). Instrument and measurement details for Lauder and Mauna Loa were published in Parrish et al (1992), for Payerne in Maillard-Barras et al (2009) and Hocke et al (2007), for Bern in Studer et al (2013), for Ny Ålesund in Palm et al (2010). Data from these instruments are archived on the NDACC webpage (see Table 1d for URL).…”
