The MPIC/DLR climate water vapor product
Description
The MPIC/DLR “climate” water vapor product, developed within ESA’s “GOME Evolution” project, provides a consistent time series of monthly mean H2O columns from the satellite instruments GOME, SCIAMACHY, and GOME-2 (Metopa).
Consensus among the different instruments (including cloud treatment) is substantially improved by (1) merging SCIAMACHY and GOME-2 observations to GOME pixel size, and (2) reducing the GOME-2 swath width to GOME/SCIAMACHY swath, thereby mimicking GOME-like observation conditions for all three sensors.
WARNING: Version 1.0 is based on spectral analysis settings which have slightly changed during the GOME-2 timeseries, introducing a small but clear “jump” in the TCWV timeseries at the turn of the years 2012/2013.
This version should not be used any more!
Use version > 2.2 instead! doi:10.1594/WDCC/GOME-EVL_water_vapor_clim_v2.2
