abstract = {Using nine years (1995-2003) of MOZAIC temperature and
humidity data, we analyse the statistics of instantaneous
fluctuations of temperature, relative and absolute humidity
with various spatial resolutions. We determine the
probability density functions (p.d.f.s), their low order
moments up to kurtosis, and study how these quantities vary
with spatial resolution and with the background mean
relative humidity. Seasonal and cleographical variations are
considered. Bivariate distributions of joint fluctuations of
temperature and relative humidity are presented as well.
These investigations are thought to provide an observational
basis for the validation of statistical cloud schemes for
large-scale models. For instance, we can show that
temperature fluctuations cannot be neglected in such a
scheme and that the bivariate distributions of simultaneous
fluctuations of temperature and humidity have to be taken
into account.},
