Abstract
The upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is a region of special interest for a variety of dynamical and chemical processes in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, there are not many measurements which offer both, long data series and a dense coverage within the UTLS.We retrieve water vapor in the UTLS region from limb measurements from the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartograpY (SCIAMACHY).
