The airborne mass spectrometer AIMS &ndash; Part 1: AIMS-H<sub>2</sub>O for UTLS water vapor measurements

In the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), the accurate quantification of low water vapor concentrations has presented a significant measurement challenge. The instrumental uncertainties are passed on to estimates of H<sub>2</sub>O transport, cloud formation and the role of...
