Water Vapour Content of the Atmosphere in Relation to Surface Humidity

N. C. Majumdar, O. P. Garg, B. K. Aggarwal

Abstract

The theoretical relationship between precipitate water vapour in the atmosphere & surface humidity has been investigated. By introducing the concept of a lapse parameter alpha, a method has been devised for estimation of precipitable water vapour. Results have been compared for six Indian Stations for which upper air data were available.
