  1. Aerospace NPP Cal/Val Data Collection UNCLASSIFIED Low Sensitivity//Approved for Release to U.S. Government Only • Suite of Instruments Housed at PMRF, Barking Sands (22.0 N, 159.8 W) • Dedicated Vaisala RS-92 Radiosondes • Raman Lidar • Upward-Looking Radiometer Targeting 10 night + 10 day overpasses from 18Sep – 01 Oct Low Sensitivity//Approved for Release to U.S. Government Only

  2. Sample Data UNCLASSIFIED Low Sensitivity//Approved for Release to U.S. Government Only • Relative Humidity Data • Both Lidar and radiosonde measure relative humidity, but using VERY different physics. • Lidarprovides time-evolution of entire humidity profile at a fixed location. • Radiosondesmeasure each altitude only once over the span of an hour. • Temperature Data • Radiosondetemperature data up to maximum altitude achieved (typ. 30 km, 10 mbar) • Pressure inversion of lidar data to extend temperature data to 60 km (0.2 mbar) Low Sensitivity//Approved for Release to U.S. Government Only
