abstract = {The new remote sensing experiment CRISTA-NF (Cryogenic
Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere -
New Frontiers) successfully participated in the SCOUT-O3
Tropical Aircraft Campaign in November and December 2005.
CRISTA-NF operated aboard the high-altitude research
aircraft M-55 Geophysica. Mid-infrared spectra (4-15 mu m)
were measured in the limb sounding geometry with high
spatial resolution (250 m vertical sampling, 5-15 km along
track sampling). Measurements were carried out during
transfer flights between Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, and
Darwin, Australia, as well as during several local flights
near Darwin. Water vapor volume mixing ratios in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere were derived from the
CRISTA-NF radiance measurements by utilizing a rapid
radiative transfer forward model and the optimal estimation
retrieval approach. CRISTA-NF water vapor measurements below
the hygropause have a total retrieval error of $15-40\%$
(i.e. root mean square of accuracy and precision). The
systematic terms are dominating in the retrieval error
budget. The contributions of a priori information to the
retrieval results are less than $5-10\%.$ The vertical
resolution of the observations is about 250-500 in when
permitted by instrument sampling. In this paper we present
first results for three transfer flights of the campaign.
Being generally in good agreement with corresponding ECMWF
operational analyzes, the CRISTA-NF measurements show
significantly higher variability and local structures in the
upper tropospheric water vapor distributions. (C) 2008
