Meteorologische Zeitschrift (Vol. 15, 2006, N°1) - Special Issue COST 720 TUC

The International COST 720 Temperature, humidity, and Cloud profiling experiment (TUC) was organized in winter 2003-2004 at Payerne, Switzerland, to test the ability of ground-based remote sensing systems to measure under cold and stable weather conditions, including situations where fog was present. This special issue focuses on advantages and limitations of such automatic systems for measuring temperature and humidity profiles within the planetary boundary layer, as well as cloud characteristics. Data from two microwave radiometers, one cloud-radar, one ceilometer and one wind profiler were analyzed and validated using radio sonde data, or compared with GPS and satellite measurements. A first attempt to integrate information from various systems to improve the overall accuracy of temperature and humidity profiles is then presented in this special issue.
