Daytime SABER/TIMED observations of water vapor in the mesosphere: retrieval approach and first results

This paper describes a methodology for water vapor retrieval in the mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) using 6.6 μm daytime broadband emissions measured by SABER, the limb scanning infrared radiometer on board the TIMED satellite. Particular attention is given to accounting for the non-local thermo...
