Water vapor channelsThis chapter introduces the main principles and aspects of the interpretation of satellite infrared measurements in the water vapor (WV) absorption band. Radiation model simulations are presented for showing the information content of 6.2渭m and 7.3渭m satellite imagery in the view...
(Image credit: NASA) In the wisp-thin sky of Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest satellite in the solar system, astronomers have for the first time detected evidence of water vapor, a new study finds. The discovery could shed light on similar watery atmospheres that may envelop other icy...
This is a color enhanced satellite image of upper tropospheric water vapor. Credit: NASA A new study from scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and colleagues confirms rising levels of water vapor in the upper troposphere – a key amplifier of g...
(Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SETI Institute) NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has spotted water vapor on Jupiter's ocean moon Europa, potentially revealing new clues about icy satellites in our solar system and beyond. Hubble had previously detected water vapor on Europa— in apparent plumes ...
Knowing where water vapor is in the atmosphere is one of many factors forecasters use to identify weather features. The NASA/NOAA GOES Project has now created two new types of animations based on satellite data that indicate where water vapor is moving o
This satellite view of atmospheric rivers is key to understanding extreme precipitation events along the West Coast. (Credit: NOAA) Atmospheric rivers are relatively long, narrow regions in the atmosphere – like rivers in the sky – that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics...
In recent years, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has witnessed rapid development. However, during the sandstorm season, the precipitable water vapor (PWVGNSS) determined from the GNSS data produces large fluctuations due to the influence of particulate matter, which can indirectly reflect...

Cassini made its deepest dive yet into the plumes pouringout from the moon?s south pole on Nov. 2 during a planned flyby ofEnceladus. The spacecraft approached within about 62 miles (100 km) of themoon's surface. The powerful plumes, which contain water vapor, sodium andorganic chemicals...
