Description
Water vapor is an important component in the water and energy cycle of the Arctic. With respect to Arctic amplification, changes of water vapor are of high interest but are difficult to observe due to the sparsity of data in that region. The ACLOUD/PASCAL campaign performed in May/June 2017 in the Arctic North Atlantic sector offers the opportunity to investigate the quality of various satellite and reanalysis products: reference IWV measurements at R/V Polarstern and at Ny-Ålesund are used to investigate the quality of instantaneous satellite measurements from AIRS, AMSR2, GOME, IASI and MIRS. In future, we will also exploit the comprehensive measurements of MOSAiC providing a full year of IWV reference measurements in the central Arctic.
