Simultaneous Observations of Thin Humidity Gradients in the Lower Troposphere with a Raman Lidar and the Very High-Frequency Middle- and Upper-Atmosphere Radar
Description: In this journal article comparisons are made between Raman lidar measurements of water vapor and middle- and upper-atmosphere radar measurements of echo power shown at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The results show that the radar can be used for continuously monitoring the thin positive and negative gradients of humidity when operated in range-imaging mode.
