Abstract

The WAVES 2006 field campaign took place at the Howard University Research Campus in Beltsville, MD, USA during July and August. The field campaign was mainly intended to provide quality measurements of water vapor and ozone for comparison with AURA satellite retrievals. The operations include intensive observations by multiple radiosondes sensors and several lidar systems during overpasses of the AURA satellite. The Howard University Raman Lidar system operates at the third harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser and acquires data at 354.7 nm, 386.7 nm and 407.5 nm. The present study shows the temporal and spatial retrievals of the water vapor mixing ratio as well as comparisons of individual profiles with radiosondes and NASA/GSFC Scanning Raman Lidar system..
