Arctic Water Vapor Characteristics from Rawinsondes
Entry ID: NSIDC-0033

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: A gridded climatological monthly-mean data base of Arctic water vapor characteristics has been assembled by combining fixed station data with data from soundings taken over the Arctic Ocean from ships and Russian drifting stations. Variables provided include temperature, specific humidity, zonal vapor flux, meridional vapor flux, zonal wind speed, and meridional wind speed, available for 15 levels ... View entire text

Project
Quality The 'version 003' product is the second public release. It is based on
improved radiance calibration.
Use Constraints This Data set (version 003/second public release) is better than the
earlier version but it is not fully validated yet. Before using it in
any publication please contact algorithm team lead for the current
known problems and updates.
