Abstract

Water vapor plays a significant role in determining the global climate. Water vapor is a primary greenhouse gas and is important to the heat budget of the atmosphere. As a transporter of latent heat, water vapor helps define the dynamic structure of the atmosphere. Aerosol growth is also strongly influenced by water vapor. For these reasons, it is essential to develop methods for determining the distribution and evolution of water vapor in the atmosphere.
