VCSEL 1Hz Water Vapor Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.051 Summary This data set contains 1 Hz water vapor mixing ratio data from the VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) hygrometer that was deployed on the NSR/NCAR GV HIAPER aircraft during the SOCRATES (Southern Ocean Clouds Radiation Aerosol Transport Experimental Study) field season. Identifiers * Local archive identifier: 552.051 * doi:10.26023/KFSD-Y8DQ-YC0D https://doi.org/10.26023/KFSD-Y8DQ-YC0D Versions 1.0 2.0: The main change is to apply a more strict QA/QC that filters out more problematic samples. The mixing ratio values have been rounded up to three significant digits. Citation Diao, M. 2021. VCSEL 1Hz Water Vapor Data. Version 2.0.
