The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) height defines the volume of air within which heat,
moisture and pollutants released at the Earth's surface are rapidly diluted. Despite the …

The climate research community uses atmospheric reanalysis data sets to understand a
wide range of processes and variability in the atmosphere, yet different reanalyses may give …

Working Group I (WGI) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assesses
the current evidence on the physical science of climate change, evaluating knowledge …

Temperature observations of the upper-air atmosphere are now available for more than 40
years from both ground-and satellite-based observing systems. Recent years have seen …

Assessing the inherent uncertainties in satellite data products is a challenging task. Different
technical approaches have been developed in the Earth Observation (EO) communities to …

This study analyzes trends in precipitable water (PW) over land and ocean from 1988 to
2011, the PW–surface temperature T s relationship, and their diurnal asymmetry using …

Approaches from metrology can assist earth observation (EO) practitioners to develop
quantitative characterisation of uncertainty in EO data. This is necessary for the credibility of …

Radiosonde measurements obtained at the Arctic site Ny-Ålesund (78.9° N, 11.9° E),
Svalbard, from 1993 to 2014 have been homogenized accounting for instrumentation …

Arctic trends of integrated water vapor were analyzed based on four reanalyses and
radiosonde data over 1979–2016. Averaged over the region north of 70° N, the Arctic …

Observation bias correction schemes are important components of the data assimilation
(DA) systems used in operational numerical weather prediction (NWP). They are used at …
