Validation of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder temperature and water vapor retrievals with matched radiosonde measurements and forecasts (2006, methodology): “The AIRS validation team has also performed many validation studies with dedicated RAOB measurements for special campaign periods and sites [Fetzer et al., 2003; Tobin et al., 2006].”
Absolute accuracy of water vapor measurements from six operational radiosonde types launched during AWEX-G and implications for AIRS validation (2006, methodology): “This approach allows the horizontal/ temporal atmospheric variability within the AIRS footprint to be characterized, and a ‘‘Best Estimate’’ profile constructed from both soundings is used for AIRS validation [Tobin et al., 2006].”
Evaluation of AERONET precipitable water vapor versus microwave radiometry, GPS, and radiosondes at ARM sites (2014, background): “Global measurements ofW can be assessed from satellite observations [e.g., Smith, 1991] generally at low temporal resolution [Tobin et al., 2006].”
Satellite-Based Atmospheric Infrared Sounder Development and Applications (2017, methodology): “Many methodologies have been proposed to solve this problem (Chahine 1970; Smith 1970; Zeng 1974; Rodgers 1976; Twomey et al. 1977; Smith et al. 1985; Fleming et al. 1986; Eyre 1989; McMillin 1991; Li et al. 1994; Li and Huang 1999; Ma et al. 1999; Li et al. 2000; Li and Huang 2001).”
