Pro?les of temperature and water vapor are retrieved using an integrated-physical retrieval
algorithm from ASSIST and Raman Lidar. The vertical resolution of the Thermodynamic
Profiles is enhanced. Comparison between radiosonde and retrievals for a 2-month
observation is presented. In cloud-free situations, the mean bias errors with the radiosonde
are about 0.2K and 0.25g/kg below 3km for temperature and water vapor mixing ratio,
respectively. The maximum root-mean-square errors are less than 2K and 1.1g/kg. The
combination of these two instrument have a considerable improvement of the thermodynamic
profiles Retrievals. |
