Call PCL Water Code

Water vapour is called in three sections. Each section for each night of data has a unique alti- tude range, vertical co-add, start and end time, tepmoral co-add, background subtraction case, statistical rejection criterion for individual scans, windowing filter, and a mask to eliminate blocks of bad data.
