Short summary
The total column water vapour (TCWV) is a key atmospheric variable. The AIRWAVE (Advanced Infra-Red WAter Vapour Estimator) v1 algorithm was developed to retrieve TCWV from satellite measurements. Comparisons with independent TCWV show good agreement with an overall bias of 0.72 kg m−2 due to the polar and coastal regions. Here, we describe the AIRWAVEv2 dataset, which shows significant improvements with a global bias of 0.02 kg m−2. This dataset was used to produce a climatology from 1991 to 2012.
