Abstract

Water vapor is one of the most important components of the atmosphere and is a key factor in shaping weather and climate. The demand for better water vapor measurements, especially in the upper troposphere, was pointed out by London (1957). With the increasing concern over the role of water vapor feedback in global warming, the need for a global water vapor data set with higher vertical resolution has become more acute (Arking, 1990).
