abstract = {[1] We present water vapor measurements made by the Polar
Ozone and Aerosol Measurement (POAM) III instrument since
May 1998 in the upper troposphere and lowermost
stratosphere. While POAM III is primarily a stratospheric
instrument, many of the POAM III occultation measurements
allow for the retrieval of water vapor in the upper
troposphere. The Measurements of Ozone and Water Vapor by
Airbus In-Service Aircraft (MOZAIC) instruments provide a
large number of coincident measurements and thus offer the
best opportunity to validate POAM measurements in the highly
spatially variable regions of the upper
troposphere-lowermost stratosphere, where the mixing ratios
are much larger than those found throughout most of the
stratosphere. The comparison shows that there is no
statistically significant difference in the response of the
two instruments to changes in water vapor and that in the
regime where the MOZAIC measurements are thought to be most
accurate, the water vapor mixing ratios measured by POAM are
$10\%$ higher. The POAM III Northern Hemisphere measurements
are taken from 55 to 71 and show a qualitatively reasonable
seasonal variation, with high mixing ratios in the upper
troposphere in the summer and low mixing ratios in the
winter. Comparisons of the seasonal variations of the POAM
measurements with those from the upper tropospheric
Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) measurements from the early
1990s show qualitative similarities. The similar to1 km
vertical resolution of POAM measurements allows us to study
in greater detail than other satellite instruments the
complex variations in water vapor that occur in the upper
troposphere and lowermost stratosphere. Among the
interesting features observed is a rise in the level of the
high-latitude hygropause from April through September.},
