Water Vapor Measurements from HALOE (1992-1997)

An animated graph showing HALOE measurements of the water vapor amounts in the upper stratosphere, illustrating that it takes about 5 years for CFCs to reach the upper atmosphere. Tropical water vapor changes slowly with seasonal cycles. These changes, shown here as thick bands, were found to slowly ascend. These measurements tell us how fast the CFCs and other pollutants rise into the stratosphere.
