Description
The latest KIT-IMK/CSIC-IAA MIPAS V8 water vapour data set is presented. We discuss the major changes with respect to preceding data versions, and show data characterization and a thorough error analysis. One achievement of the V8 data set is the improved agreement between different MIPAS measurement modes, as well as a consistency improvement between the MIPAS nominal mode measurements with full and reduced spectral resolution. By consideration of Non-LTE effects in nominal mode retrievals, those profiles have become far more realistic in the upper stratosphere/mesophere range. Preliminary validation results show: The overall accuracy of the data product can be expected to be better than 10 % over a major part of the middle atmosphere.
