The SABER instrument on TIMED will measure 6.8um limb emission for the purpose of retrieving water vapor profiles over the range from approximately 15 to 80 km tangent height. We present a new accurate and efficient algorithm for retrieving middle atmospheric water vapor from measurements of limb emission, which rigorously includes non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) processes in the forward radiance model and in the inversion approach. The purpose of this paper is to outline the salient features of the algorithm and discuss the impact of non-LTE and nonlinear radiation transfer effects on middle atmospheric water vapor retrievals. Preliminary retrievals will be shown.
