Monitoring Atmospheric Water Vapour Ground-Based Remote Sensing and In-situ Methods /

Atmospheric water plays a key role in climate. Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas and its condensed forms exert a profound influence on both incoming solar and outgoing infrared radiation. Unfortunately, accurate, height-resolved global-scale measurements of atmospheric humidity are di...
