Cirrus and water vapor in the tropical tropopause layer observed by Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) [PDF]
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is sensitive to water vapor and ozone in the lower stratosphere. The Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES), another of the instruments on UARS, has a spatial and ...

Mountain waves modulate the water vapor distribution in the UTLS [PDF]
The water vapor distribution in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) region has a strong impact on the atmospheric radiation budget. Transport and mixing processes on different scales mainly determine the water vapor concentration in the ...

Water vapor estimation based on 1-year data of E-band millimeter wave link in North China [PDF]
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is very small, but its content varies greatly in different humidity areas. The change in water vapor will affect the transmission of microwave link signals, and most of the water vapor is concentrated in the ...

Daily variations of water use with vapor pressure deficit in a plantation of I214 poplars. [PDF]
Daily rates of whole tree water use were measured in a homogeneous 7-year-old plantation over 84 days. Two trees were selected in the two most contrasting ends, i.e., with mean water table at -1.5 m and -3.5 m. Results showed that the mean tree water use

Development of a New Vertical Water Vapor Model for GNSS Water Vapor Tomography
One of the main challenges of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) tomography is in solving ill-conditioned system equations. Vertical constraint models are typically used in the solution procedure and play an important role in the quality of the GNSS tomography, in addition to helping resolve ill-posed problems in system equations. In this study,
