| Abstract | In this paper, we outline an iterative method to cal- ibrate the water vapour mixing ratio profiles retrieved from Raman lidar measurements. Simultaneous and co-located ra- diosonde data are used for this purpose and the calibration re- sults obtained during a radiosonde campaign in summer and autumn 2011 are presented. The water vapour profiles mea- sured during night-time by the Raman lidar and radiosondes are compared and the differences between the methodolo- gies are discussed. Then, a new approach to obtain relative humidity profiles by combination of simultaneous profiles of temperature (retrieved from a microwave radiometer) and water vapour mixing ratio (from a Raman lidar) is addressed. In the last part of this work, a statistical analysis of water vapour mixing ratio and relative humidity profiles obtained during 1 year of simultaneous measurements is presented. |
