Water vapor: An extraordinary terahertz wave source under optical excitation [PDF]
Physics Letters A, 2008 In modern terahertz (THz) sensing and imaging spectroscopy, water is considered a nemesis to be avoided due to strong absorption in the THz frequency range. Here we report the first experimental demonstration and theoretical implications of using femtosecond laser pulses to generate intense broadband THz emission from water vapor.

Review on the Role of GNSS Meteorology in Monitoring Water Vapor for Atmospheric Physics
Remote Sensing, 2021 After 30 years since the beginning of the Global Positioning System (GPS), or, more generally, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) meteorology, this technique has proven to be a reliable method for retrieving atmospheric water vapor; it is low-cost,

Contribution of understory evaporation in a tropical wet forest during the dry season [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Tropical wet forests are complex ecosystems with a large number of plant species. These environments are characterized by a high water availability throughout the whole year and a complex canopy structure.

Lateral mixing as a source of subtropical water vapor [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 1998 It is hypothesized that the subtropical tropospheric water vapor distribution results from the interplay of three factors: subsidence, which brings down dry air from aloft; lateral mixing, which brings in moistened air from the convective region at various rates; and drying by processing of air through the cold extratropics.

Airborne DOAS retrievals of methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor concentrations at high spatial resolution: application to AVIRIS-NG [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017 At local scales, emissions of methane and carbon dioxide are highly uncertain. Localized sources of both trace gases can create strong local gradients in its columnar abundance, which can be discerned using absorption spectroscopy at high spatial ...

Sources and sinks of stratospheric water vapor [PDF]
, 1979 A tutorial review of the understanding of stratospheric H/sub 2/O and the processes controlling it is presented. Paradoxes posed by currently available observational data are cited and suggestions made as to how they might be resolved. Such resolution appears to require: that the bulk of our current data provides unrepresentative and misleading ...
