      abstract     = {We present the validation of a water vapour dataset
                      obtained by the Airborne Microwave Stratospheric Observing
                      System AMSOS, a passive microwave radiometer operating at
                      183 GHz. Vertical profiles are retrieved from spectra by an
                      optimal estimation method. The useful vertical range lies in
                      the upper troposphere up to the mesosphere with an altitude
                      resolution of 8 to 16 km and a horizontal resolution of
                      about 57 km. Flight campaigns were performed once a year
                      from 1998 to 2006 measuring the latitudinal distribution of
                      water vapour from the tropics to the polar regions. The
                      obtained profiles show clearly the main features of
                      stratospheric water vapour in all latitudinal regions. Data
                      are validated against a set of instruments comprising
                      satellite, ground-based, airborne remote sensing and in-situ
                      instruments. It appears that AMSOS profiles have a dry bias
                      of 0 to $-20\%,$ when compared to satellite experiments.
                      Also a comparison between AMSOS and in-situ hygrosondes FISH
                      and FLASH have been performed. A matching in the short
                      overlap region in the upper troposphere of the lidar
                      measurements from the DIAL instrument and the AMSOS dataset
                      allowed water vapour profiling from the middle troposphere
                      up to the mesosphere.},
