Abstract

The validation results of MIPAS temperature, density and water vapour measurements using three different reference datasets is presented. The MIPAS temperature and density profiles have been compared to a statistical falling sphere model and to radiosonde data. The MIPAS water vapour measurements were validated using lidar data. Regarding the MIPAS density profiles, a bias of about-20 % compared to the statistical model seems to be present. This is probably related to the fact that no in-flight line-of-sight calibration had been applied to data products generated before
