RISDevelopment and Validation of a Time-Lag Correction for Vaisala Radiosonde Humidity Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents a method of improving the accuracy of relative humidity (RH) measurements from Vaisala RS80 and RS90 radiosondes by applying sensor-based corrections for well-understood sources of measurement error. ...
SHADOZ—A TROPICAL OZONESONDE–RADIOSONDE NETWORK FOR THE ATMOSPHERIC COMMUNITY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article describes the Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozonesondes (SHADOZ) network of ozonesonde?radiosonde stations in the southern Tropics and subtropics. SHADOZ was initiated in 1998 by NASA, NOAA, and a team of ...
Characterization and Correction of Relative Humidity Measurements from Vaisala RS80-A Radiosondes at Cold Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiosonde relative humidity (RH) measurements are known to be unreliable at cold temperatures. This study characterizes radiosonde RH measurements from Vaisala RS80-A thin-film capacitive sensors in the temperature range ...
Interannual Changes of Stratospheric Water Vapor and Correlations with Tropical Tropopause Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual variations of stratospheric water vapor over 1992?2003 are studied using Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) satellite measurements. Interannual anomalies in water vapor with an approximate 2-yr periodicity ...
Performance of the Meteolabor “Snow White” Chilled-Mirror Hygrometer in the Tropical Troposphere: Comparisons with the Vaisala RS80 A/H-Humicap Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ?Snow White? hygrometer is a low-cost, chilled-mirror hygrometer for radiosonde applications provided by a Swiss company, Meteolabor AG. A total of 54 Snow White soundings were conducted at five tropical stations in ...
