Dear Patrick,
Thanks a lot for the help and feedback, this is really appreciated. For the second order term of the baseline, I believe one of the reason for it lies in our sideband suppression method. I'll now try to add that effect in the sensor_response variable and see if this impacts the baseline accordingly.

But you now get so small values that nothing to worry about. You get very consistent values for poly_order 1 and 2, despite that the tropospheric opacity varies quite a bit. That should be an indication on that receiver is stable and the baseline+tropospheric part of the retrievals is working well. > Would you have any tips on how to implement the retrieval of a single > scaling parameter for a full water vapor profile ?

This you do by setting the retrieval grid to have a single point (e.g. 500 hPa) and set the corresponding covariance matrix to have size 1x1. A suitable value for it is maybe 1 (meaning a 100% uncertainty at all altitudes, fully correlated). Bye, Patrick
