Scientific paper

We present the first analysis of water vapor measurements made during a stratospheric warming using ground-based microwave spectroscopy. The measurements were made from the ALOMAR observatory (69°N, 16°E) between January 31 and February 10, 1998. The data show an increased mixing ratio between ~45 and 70 km throughout the warming. The analysis uses temperature data obtained by lidar measurements from the same location. A comparison with results obtained using standard temperature data reveals the importance of `good' temperature measurements for water vapor retrieval from remote sensing data during such events in order to separate temperature effects from atmospheric dynamics.
