TL;DR: The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Scanning Raman Lidar (SRL) participated in the International H2O Project (IHOP), which occurred in May and June 2002 in the midwestern part of the United States as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The NASA GSFC Scanning Raman Lidar (SRL) participated in the International H2O Project (IHOP) that occurred in May and June 2002 in the midwestern part of the United States as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Raman Airborne Spectroscopic Lidar (RASL) for profile measurements of atmospheric water vapor, cirrus clouds, and carbon dioxide during ground-based, upward-looking tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) water vapor retrievals with in situ measurements is presented, showing that TES reported water vapor comparison statistics are not weighted by the water vapor layer amounts, and that the estimated systematic errors from the forward model, TES measurements, in situ observations, retrieved temperature profiles, and clouds are likely not large enough to account for radiance differences between TES observations and forward model calculations using in situ profiles as input.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the instrumentation and analysis of the first documented Raman lidar that is able to measure water vapor in the daytime with sufficient quality to permit the study of developing storm systems.
