The Global Distribution of Supersaturation in the Upper Troposphere from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder

Satellite data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is analyzed to examine regions of the upper troposphere that are supersaturated: where the relative humidity (RH) is greater than 100%. AIRS data compare well to other in situ and satellite observations of RH and provide daily global covera...
