Short summary
We proposed a new method to determine the scale height of water vapor, which will improve the quality of vertical constraints. Then, the smoothing factor in the horizontal constraint was determined based on ERA-Interim products. The evaluation results show that the water vapor density quality obtained by the optimized technique is 13.8 % better below 3.8 km and 8.1 % better above 3.8 km than that obtained by the traditional technique.
