Abstract
Accurate radiosonde measurements of water vapor in the mid and upper troposphere are important for such applications as evaluating remote-sensor water vapor retrievals, initializing numerical models, and improving parameterizations of radiative and cloud processes. Measurements of relative humidity (RH) from Vaisala radiosondes are subject to several measurement errors, most of which increase in
