abstract = {The Fast In-situ Stratospheric Hygrometer (FISH) is an
airborne Lyman-α photofragment fluorescence hygrometer for
accurate and precise measurement of total water mixing
ratios (WMR) (gas phase + evaporated ice) in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS) since almost two
decades. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the
measurement technique, calibration procedure, accuracy and
reliability of FISH. A crucial part for the FISH measurement
quality is the regular calibration to a water vapor
reference, namely the commercial frostpoint hygrometer DP30.
In the frame of this work this frostpoint hygrometer is
compared to German and British traceable metrological water
standards and its accuracy is found to be $2–4\%.$
Overall, in the range from 4–1000 ppmv, the total accuracy
of FISH was found to be $6–8\%$ as stated also in previous
publications. For lower mixing ratios down to 1 ppmv, the
uncertainty reaches a lower limit of 0.3 ppmv. For specific,
non-atmospheric conditions, as set in experiments at the
AIDA chamber – namely mixing ratios below 10 and above 100
ppmv in combination with high and low pressure conditions
– the need to apply a modified FISH calibration evaluation
has been identified. The new evaluation improves the
agreement of FISH with other hygrometers to ± $10\%$
accuracy in the respective mixing ratio ranges. Further, a
quality check procedure for high total water measurements in
cirrus clouds at high pressures (400–500 hPa) is
introduced. The performance of FISH in the field is assessed
by reviewing intercomparisons of FISH water vapor data with
other in-situ and remote sensing hygrometers over the last
two decades. We find that the agreement of FISH with the
other hygrometers has improved over that time span from
overall up to $±30\%$ or more to about $±5–20\%$ @ < 10
ppmv and to $±0–15\%$ @ > 10 ppmv.},
