Short summary
Sunlight can pass diagonally through the atmosphere, cutting through the 3-D water vapour field in a way that smears 2-D maps of imaging spectroscopy vapour retrievals. In simulations we show how this smearing is towards or away from the Sun, so calculating across the solar direction allows sub-kilometre information about water vapour's spatial scaling to be calculated. This could be tested by airborne campaigns and used to obtain new information from upcoming spaceborne data products.
