Description:
A method has been developed to utilise 940-nm measurements from a ground-based sunphotomter (the Multi-Filter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer-MFRSR) to determine the column water vapour amount. The accuracy of the method, when compared to coincident, collocated radiosonde measurements is ca. 3 mm of precipitable water. Details of the method and some example results are provided in this report.
