The vertical structure and spatial variability of lower-tropospheric water vapor and clouds in the trades

<p>Horizontal and vertical variability of water vapor is omnipresent in the tropics, but its interaction with cloudiness poses challenges for weather and climate models. In this study we compare airborne lidar measurements from a summer and a winter field campaign in the tropical Atlantic with...
