Absolute accuracy of water vapor measurements from six operational radiosonde types launched during AWEX-G and implications for AIRS validation (2006, methodology): “Murphy and Koop [2005] reviewed and assessed several SVP formulations and their consistency with experimental data, and they developed new SVP formulations.”
Accuracy assessment and correction of Vaisala RS92 radiosonde water vapor measurements (2009, background): “A second weakness is that the RH probes exhibit considerable temperaturedependence in the accuracy of the RH calibration [Miloshevich et al., 2004a], and therefore the probes cannot be relied upon except near the 22-27°C temperature range of the probe calibration conditions.”
Validation of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder temperature and water vapor retrievals with matched radiosonde measurements and forecasts (2006, unknown): “The accuracy of RAOB water vapor measurements depends on the sensor type and above 500–300 hPa, the measurement errors increase because of slower response of the sensor to the ambient humidity [Miloshevich et al., 2004].”
Evaluation of AERONET precipitable water vapor versus microwave radiometry, GPS, and radiosondes at ARM sites (2014, methodology): “Time lag error is not a bias error but rather “smooths” the profile by an amount that depends on the temperature and the local humidity gradient [e.g., Miloshevich et al., 2004, 2006].”
