• SRL operated for approximately 35 days during IHOP

• Most of the measurements were carried out in vertically pointing mode

• Present availability of analyzed data: 11 days

29 May 2002, 30 May 2002, 31 May 2002, 3June 2002, 4June 2002, 9June 2002, 10June 2002, 12June 2002, 14June 2002, 19June 2002, 20 June 2002

both daytime and night-time cases.

Water vapor data have been processed using a single, height independent calibration constant determined from 20 nighttime datasets of SRL water vapor and SuomiNet GPS measurements of total precipitable water both taken at Greenbelt, MD in the September November, 2002 period for Aqua validation purposes.

Time resolution: 1 minute intervals

Vertical resolution:

0-1 km : 60m, 1-2 km : 100m, 2-3 km : 150m,   3-4 km : 200m, >4 km : 300m

Vertical extent (for the present data release): 0-6 km.

Measurement uncertainty

• Systematic error associated with the determination of the calibration constant K(z).

•Random error is a function time of day, altitude and amount of water vapour.

During IHOP:

• day <10% in BL• night <2% in BL, <10% to 6km

Water vapor data have been processed using a single, height independent calibration constant determined from 20 nighttime datasets of SRL water vapor and SuomiNet GPS measurements of total precipitable water both taken at Greenbelt, MD in the September November, 2002 period for Aqua validation purposes.

• Vertical data interval: 30 m• Horizontal interval: 6 sec or 1.4 km

• Vertical resolution: 330 m• Horizontal resolution: 1 min or 14 km

• LASE measurement accuracy: better than 6 % or 0.01 g/kg, across the troposphere

• Water vapor mixing ratio: calculated using molecular density profiles derived from the Homestead radiosondes.

Comparison between SRL and LASE

Comparison between SRL and LASE data are possible on 30 May, 3 June, 9 June and 14 June.

Comparisons are based on 10 minute data averaging for SRL and 1 minute data averaging for LASE. Based on 10 minute data averaging, 10 % random uncertainty for SRL is reached between 2.8-4.3 km.

In order to compute deviations, SRL data have been interpolated at LASE heights.

Page 7: Airborne/ground-based sensor intercomparison: SRL/LASE Paolo Di Girolamo, Domenico Sabatino, David Whiteman, Belay Demoz, Edward Browell, Richard Ferrare

Agreement is very good when distance between LASE footprint and SRL does not exceed 2.5 km.

• Average RMS deviation: 2.2 % in the height interval 1.3-3.8 km

• Average BIAS: 0.3 % in the height interval 1.3-3.8 km

Distance between LASE footprint and SRL = 0.9 km

statistical error gets lower than 10 % around 5 km

Sun zenith angle=30-40 deg

Background signal is 50 % smaller than Sun at zenith

When distances are larger than 2.5 km, differences in air masses properties are appreciable deviations between LASE and SRL

are larger.
