abstract = {In-situ observational data on the relative humidity (RH) in
the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere (UT/LS), or
tropopause region, respectively, collected aboard civil
passenger aircraft in the MOZAIC (Measurements of OZone,
water vapour, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides by
in-service AIrbus airCraft) programme were reanalysed for
the period 2000 to 2009. Previous analyses of probability
distribution functions (PDF) of upper troposphere humidity
(UTH) data from MOZAIC observations from year 2000 and later
indicated a bias of UTH data towards higher RH values
compared to data of the period 1994 to 1999. As a result,
PDF of UTH data show a substantial fraction of observations
above $100\%$ relative humidity with respect to liquid water
(RHliquid), which is not possible from thermodynamical
principles. An in-depth reanalysis of the data set recovered
a calibration artefact from year 2000 on, while data of the
previous period from 1994 to 1999 were found to be correct.
The full data set for 2000–2009 was reanalysed applying
the adjusted calibration procedure. Applied correction
schemes and a revised error analysis are presented along
with the reanalysed PDF of RHliquid and RHice.},
