The annual mean water vapor was found out to be 0.45 cm in the year 2003. Columnar water vapour has been observed maximum in the month of January during observational period. Day-to-day variation of water vapour and surface temperature showed positive correlation suggesting that day-to day variation of water vapour is highly related to local meteorological conditions. In the present communication obtained results are discussed in detail. The observations were taken throughout the expedition on hourly basis during clear sunny days. Correlation of total water vapour column has also been made with surface temperature.
