abstract = {Content The files contain adjusted mean water vapor values
based on the IAGOS ICH measurements. The data are provided
to a 5x5° grid for different levels of potential
temperatureand on pressure. The dataset contains the
adjusted water vapor and an error estimate, which is based
on the measurement uncertainity as well as the uncertainty
of the adjusmtent methdology. Data Coverage Mean values
are derived from measurements in the period 1996 to 2022
Data Creation The adjustment methodology is decribed in
detail in the following publication, Section 4: Konjari,
P. and Rolf, C. and Hegglin, M. I. and Rohs, S. and Li, Y.
and Zahn, A. and Bönisch, H. and Krämer, M. and Petzold,
A., Water Vapor climatologies in the extra-tropical Upper
Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere derived from a Synthesis
of Passenger and Research Aircraft Measurements,
EGUsphere, doi: 10.5194/egusphere-2024-2360 Application
The adjusted water vapor climatologies can be used to
further study the spatial and seasonal variability over
water vapor in the UTLS. For comparison of the adjusted
IAGOS data with other datasets, the data coverage of the
adjusted data should be considered. For this purpose, for
every bin, the amount of data for every single month of the
respective years is provided in the variable
$'num_measurements'$ (dimension: longitude x latitude x
theta x nyear x month, with nyear=0 for 1996). Caveats:
Because a sufficient amount of data in the order of several
thousand measurement points is needed to derive the adjusted
mean values, only multi-annual means are provided, and no
trends can be derived Uncertainties of the adjustment
methodology: The uncertainty of the water vapor data can
exceed 10 $\%$ and reach up to 20 $\%$ for dry stratospheric
air masses (},
