The spatiotemporal distribution of water vapor has impact on precipitation state prediction, climatic disasters, and global ecological equilibrium. And the satellite-based occultation observations greatly improve the understanding of atmospheric vertical composition. This study proposed a modified water vapor retrieval algorithm.There has been information redundancy when retrieving with hyper-spectral remote sensing data of infrared occultation. The interference components will also greatly decline retrieval accuracy. Considering these problems, the Reference Forward Model (RFM) and the channels’ Jacobian were applied when choosing appropriate retrieval channels. 159 retrieval channels which include 13 micro-windows were extracted by using channel selection and sensitivity analysis. This will lessen calculative burden and improve retrieval efficiency. The hierarchical smoothing parameter, which makes the algorithm suitable for the layered detection characteristic of infrared occultation payload, was employed to modify the Rodgers’s Levenberg—Marquardt (LM) optimal estimation algorithm. Thus, smoothing coefficients at different altitudes were used when retrieving water vapor profiles based on infrared occultation data. To validate the reliability of the modified algorithm, the original and modified algorithms were used for the water vapor profiles retrieval based on the ACE-FTS observation data. The retrieval experiment based on GF5-AIUS simulation data was performed for the further validation of the modified algorithm applicability to the domestic occultation satellite payload. By comparing the overall differences and the relative differences at different altitudes of original and modified algorithms under the same number of iteration, the conclusion can be obtained.The result showed that the modified algorithm reduced the overall relative differences of retrieval from ±10% to ±6% for the ACE-FTS observation data. For the GF5-AIUS simulation data, it was from ±9% to ±5%. In addition, the relative differences was also significantly reduced in some atmospheric layers. The decrease of relative differences in different altitudes were more than 25.17% for the ACE-FTS observation data and more than 48.26% for the GF5-AIUS simulation data. The overall decrease of relative difference for the three-scene (Orbit numbers 40993, 43544, 38154) data were 34.7362%, 25.1706%, and 52.1346% for the ACE-FTS observation data. For the GF5-AIUS simulation data, they were 61.3239%, 48.2558%, and 51.9857%, respectively.In conclusion, the modified algorithm works efficiently and reliably in retrieving atmospheric water vapor profiles based on infrared occultation. Therefore, the modified algorithm provides a reference for the water vapor profile retrieval study when using infrared occultation data and is conducive to the further research in atmospheric water vapor retrieval of domestic occultation payload. It provides reliable fundamental data for water vapor for climate change prediction, global ecological balance, and other relevant fields.
