Zusammenfassung |
In this paper, we outline an iterative method to calibrate the water vapour
mixing ratio profiles retrieved from Raman lidar measurements. Simultaneous
and co-located radiosonde data are used for this purpose and the calibration
results obtained during a radiosonde campaign in summer and autumn 2011 are
presented. The water vapour profiles measured during night-time by the Raman
lidar and radiosondes are compared and the differences between the
methodologies are discussed. Then, a new approach to obtain relative
humidity profiles by combination of simultaneous profiles of temperature
(retrieved from a microwave radiometer) and water vapour mixing ratio (from a
Raman lidar) is addressed. In the last part of this work, a statistical
analysis of water vapour mixing ratio and relative humidity profiles obtained
during 1 year of simultaneous measurements is presented. |
