abstract = {As part of the DENCHAR (Development and Evaluation of Novel
Compact Hygrometer for Airborne Research) inter-comparison
campaign in northern Germany in 2011, a commercial cavity
ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) based gas analyzer (G2401-m,
Picarro Inc., US) was installed on a Learjet to measure
atmospheric water vapor, CO2, CH4, and CO. The CRDS
components were identical to those chosen for integration
aboard commercial airliners within the IAGOS (In-service
Aircraft for a Global Observing System) project. Since the
quantitative capabilities of the CRDS water vapor
measurements were never evaluated and reviewed in detail in
a publication before, the campaign allowed for an initial
assessment of the long-term IAGOS water vapor measurements
by CRDS against reference instruments with a long
performance record (Fast In-situ Stratospheric Hygrometer
(FISH) and CR-2 frost point hygrometer (Buck Research
Instruments L.L.C., US), both operated by Research Centre
Jülich).For the initial water calibration of the instrument
it was compared against a dew point mirror (Dewmet TDH,
Michell Instruments Ltd., UK) in the range from 70000 to
25000ppm water vapor mole fraction. During the
inter-comparison campaign the analyzer was compared on the
ground over the range from 2 to 600ppm against the dew point
hygrometer used for calibration of the FISH reference
instrument. A new, independent calibration method based on
the dilution effect of water vapor on CO2 was
evaluated.Comparison of the in-flight data against the
reference instruments showed that the analyzer is reliable
and has a good long-term stability. The flight data suggest
a conservative precision estimate for measurements made at
0.4Hz (2.5s measurement interval) of 4ppm for H2O<10ppm,
$20\%$ or 10ppm (whichever is smaller) for 10ppm<H2O<100ppm,
and $5\%$ or 30ppm (whichever is smaller) for H2O>100ppm.
Accuracy of the CRDS instrument was estimated, based on
laboratory calibrations, as $1\%$ for the water vapor range
from 25000ppm down to 7000ppm, increasing to $5\%$ at 50ppm
water vapor. Accuracy at water vapor mole fractions below
50ppm was difficult to assess, as the reference systems
suffered from lack of data availability.},
