The present paper examines the correction of humidity measurements by the Vaisala RS80-A radiosonde using data obtained at Dome Fuji Station, inland Antarctica. The correction method is based upon a procedure developed by L.M. Miloshevich et al.(J. Atmos. Oceanic Technol., 18, 135, 2001). In the pre...
