Zusammenfassung |
This study presents the joint H216O and HDO retrieval from
Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) spectra over western
Siberia. IASI is an instrument on board the MetOp-A European satellite. The
global coverage of the instrument and the good signal-to-noise ratio allow
us to provide information on δD over this remote region. We show
that IASI measurements may be used to estimate integrated δD between
the surface and 3 km altitude or from 1 to 5 km depending on the thermal
contrast, with observational errors lower than 4% and 7%,
respectively. The retrieved data are compared to simulations from an
isotopic general circulation model, LMDZ-iso for 2011. The satellite measurements and the model
agree well and they reproduce well the seasonal and day-to-day variations
for δD, presenting a good correlation (r up to 0.8 with the smoothed
data in summer). The IASI-based retrievals also show the seasonal variation
of the specific humidity in both altitude ranges. |
