• Dynamics, stratospheric ozone, and climate change (2008, methodology): “Interest in this possibility was fuelled by an apparent observed trend of rapidly increasing stratospheric water vapour, far greater than could be explained by increased methane abundance or any change in tropical dehydration (SPARC, 2000).”
• Control of interannual and longer‐term variability of stratospheric water vapor (2005, background): “However unresolved differences between measurements by in situ and remote-sensing instruments as presented in Figure 1 of the SPARC assessment of UT/LS water vapor [Kley et al., 2000] remain an important point of concern and need to be resolved (E.”
• State of the climate in 2010 (2011, background): “The determination of multidecadal trends from satellite-based datasets is challenging and uncertain because there are significant discrepancies between coincident measurements by the different sensors (Vömel et al. 2007; Kley et al. 2000; Randel et al. 2004; Lambert et al. 2007).”

• Contributions of Stratospheric Water Vapor to Decadal Changes in the Rate of Global Warming (2010, background): “because of calibration issues (13) and limited spatial coverage before the mid-1990s.”
• Tropospheric water vapor, convection, and climate (2010, background): “The Stratospheric Processes and Their Role in Climate water vapor assessment [Kley and Russell, 2000] thoroughly reviewed observational capabilities for the upper troposphere and stratosphere, with some discussion of mechanisms controlling water vapor there, which have been followed up further by…”
• Validation of the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder middle atmosphere water vapor and nitrous oxide measurements (2007, methodology): “radiation, chemistry, microphysics and dynamics on a vast range of characteristic spatiotemporal scales [Kley et al., 2000].”
• Solar occultation satellite data and derived meteorological products: Sampling issues and comparisons with Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (2007, background): “2, including detailed precision and resolution information, is done in papers in this special section: Lambert et al.

• Accuracy of tropospheric and stratospheric water vapor measurements by the cryogenic frost point hygrometer: Instrumental details and observations (2007, background): “[53] Disagreements between aircraft borne instruments and balloon borne instruments have been reported in the past [Kley et al., 2000], and the comparison presented here reinforces the need to address this issue in more detail.”
• Open-path airborne tunable diode laser hygrometer (2002, methodology): “Despite its importance, there is often disagreement among the many methods used to measure water vapor in the atmosphere.(1) Part of the problem may come from the great range of concentrations over which water vapor is found.”
