• A Multisensor Perspective on the Radiative Impacts of Clouds and Aerosols (2013, background): “Perturbations in ECMWF parameters are pulled from comparisons with radiosondes (Divakarla et al. 2006).”
• Comparing radiosonde and COSMIC atmospheric profile data to quantify differences among radiosonde types and the effects of imperfect collocation on comparison statistics (2010, methodology): “Due to their global distribution and high vertical resolution, raobs have also been used as “ground truth” for calibration and validation of satellite temperature and water vapor retrievals [e.g., Divakarla et al., 2006; Tobin et al., 2006; Reale et al., 2008].”
• Retrieval of stratospheric temperatures from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder radiance measurements for gravity wave studies (2009, methodology): “The mean differences and standard deviations for a set of 35 globally distributed AIRS granules are shown in Figure 8. The AIRS operational temperature retrievals are carefully validated [e.g., Fetzer 2003; Divakarla et al., 2006; Tobin et al., 2006b].”
• Generation of real‐time mode high‐resolution water vapor fields from GPS observations (2017, background): “Comparisons between AIRS products and GPS PWV showed RMS differences of about 3–4mm and 15% differences in the 2 km layers between AIRS and radiosondes [Divakarla et al., 2006; Raja et al., 2008].”
• Vertical Moist Thermodynamic Structure and Spatial-Temporal Evolution of the MJO in AIRS Observations (2006, background): “Furthermore, combining deep convection and its associated preconditioning stage (i.e., weak and strongly suppressed convection) together, the trimodal vertical structure in the moisture anomaly from AIRS is clear,”
• The Observed State of the Water Cycle in the Early Twenty-First Century (2015, methodology): “AIRS total water vapor over land and ocean has been validated against radiosondes (Tobin et al. 2006; Divakarla et al. 2006), Global Positioning System receivers (RamaVarmaRaja et al. 2008), and group-based radiometers (Bedka et al. 2010).”
