abstract = {The Polar Ozone and Aerosol Measurement (POAM) III solar
occultation instrument has been measuring water vapor at
high latitudes since April 1998. Retrievals extend from 5 to
50 km, with $5-7\%$ precision throughout the stratosphere
and a vertical resolution of 1 (3) km in the lower (upper)
stratosphere. Estimated systematic errors in the
stratosphere are $10-15\%.$ In this paper, we validate the
POAM III version 4 stratospheric water vapor using
correlative measurements from satellite, airborne, and
balloon-borne platforms. The resulting comparisons show that
POAM water vapor is high compared to correlative
measurements in the middle to lower stratosphere. The
satellite (Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) and
Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II)
comparisons also indicate a sunrise/sunset bias in the POAM
data, with sunset (Southern Hemisphere) retrievals larger
than sunrise (Northern Hemisphere) retrievals by $5-10\%.$
In the Northern Hemisphere, POAM is approximately $5-10\%$
high compared to all validation data sets between 12 and 35
km. At higher altitudes this difference decreases, such that
POAM agrees with HALOE at 40 km and is lower by $10\%$ at 50
km. In the Southern Hemisphere, POAM is $15-25\%$ higher
than HALOE below 35 km, with differences decreasing to
$10\%$ by 50 km. Similar differences are seen with SAGE II.
Despite these systematic differences the POAM water vapor
data are self-consistent and show no long-term trends in
accuracy or precision. Statistical comparisons of the water
vapor variability measured by POAM, HALOE, and SAGE II show
very good agreement. The POAM data are therefore valid for
scientific studies, and the science community is encouraged
to use this unique data set.},
