Water Vapor Sensing System (WVSS) Data at UCAR/JOSS/NOAA/CODIAC
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Atmospheric water vapor measurements from commercial aircraft are now available to complement the real-time winds and temperatures available from the Aircraft Communication, Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS).
Description
The technology of this first-generation system (WVSS-I) is a modified Vaisala thin-film sensor. It is considered to be equal to or better than existing radiosonde humidity data and especially so at the upper levels of the troposphere.
A second-generation system (WVSS-II) is in progress.
