Short summary
Comparison of satellite based retrieved atmospheric profiles of temperature and water vapor with other, more traditional, ground based measurements, like radiosondes, is not trivial. There are many issues, like collocation, spatial inhomogeneities of the atmospheric parameters or others, that may render the comparison of little use. In this paper a method is presented to asses if the comparison is adequate.
