| Zusammenfassung |
| We show that the near infrared solar absorption spectra recorded in the
framework of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) can be used to
derive the vertical distribution of tropospheric water vapour. The resolution
of the TCCON spectra of 0.02 cm−1 is sufficient for retrieving lower
and middle/upper tropospheric water vapour concentrations with a vertical
resolution of about 3 and 8 km, respectively. We document the good quality
of the remotely-sensed profiles by comparisons with coincident in-situ
Vaisala RS92 radiosonde measurements. Due to the high measurement frequency,
the TCCON water vapour profile data offer novel opportunities for estimating
the water vapour variability at different timescales and altitudes. |
