Abstract
Water vapor takes up the largest proportion of the greenhouse gases which accelerate climate change. Monitoring water vapor is important to predict future climate conditions and estimate its effect on the atmospheric chemical and physical reaction. The microwave radiometer is able to detect the amount of atmospheric water vapor by receiving its radiation. In addition, atmospheric opacity can be calculated from the calibration. This paper will show the water vapor profile and atmospheric opacity, optical thickness, variation measured by the 22 GHz ground-based microwave radiometer for two years. The measured opacity indicates the possibility that the total amount of tropospheric water vapor can be derived.
Key Words: Water vapour, Microwave, Climate change, Middle atmosphere
