LASE-All Instrument Comparisons by Flight (<20 km & <20 min) (“Best”: L-DS; H-RL; H-BS; MG-BS)

Summary Comparisons were possible on only 7 of 8 flights and Flight #5 (5/24) only had 3 close comparisons. Most comparisons were within 50 min and 50 km although a few went to 75 min and 75 km. In all there were 158 comparison opportunities with less than half of them (77) within 20 min and 20 km. Raman lidar (CARL & H-RL) comparisons were excellent (generally <5%). Lear dropsondes were in good agreement overall (<5%), but Falcon dropsondes were consistently drier by ~8%. Reasonable overall agreement (<10%) with balloons, but large scatter on individual comparisons. Excellent comparisons (<5%) with AERI. Average agreement with DLR (~10%) but few comparisons available. Comparisons with all instruments shows no systematic difference greater than the 5% level. Some localized large differences in mid trop due to presence of very dry layers that are difficult to measure with sondes. LASE water vapor data appear to be within <6% absolute accuracy.
