Atmospheric Water Vapour Measurement at Maitri, Antarctica.
Access URI: http://data.ncaor.gov.in/newhtml
Brief Description (Abstract):
Atmospheric water vapour content has been measured during 14th Indian Antarctic Expedition at Maitri (70? 46'S, 11?45'E), Antarctica. The measurements were carried out on clear sunny days during Jan.-Feb. 1995. The average precipitate water vapour at zenith was in the range 1.7- 2.4 mm.
Status: Completed
Purpose: The measurement of atmospheric water vapour plays an important role in understanding meteorology, climatology, infrared astronomy and cloud physics. The amount of atmospheric water vapour varies considerably with the temperature and relative humidity unlike other gases of the atmosphere. Water vapour is the primary absorber of thermal and near infrared radiation in the earth atmosphere and has considerable effect on radiation field, radiative albedo and the energy balance of the earth/atmospheric system.
