DA10 provides the following vertical profiles:

  • Water vapor profile (WV)
  • Uncertainty for water vapor profile (UC)
  • Attenuated backscatter profile (ABS)

The following figures show water vapor and attenuated backscatter profiles covering a period of 6 days. The detected data shows dry and humid layers, as well as liquid cloud layers, precipitation, and the aerosol signal in the boundary layer.
