Scientific paper

Tropospheric heating by water vapor insolation absorption is a leading drive of the propagating diurnal tide. A climatology of monthly diurnal radiative heating due to water vapor insolation absorption is derived using specific humidity from NCEP/NCAR reanalyses, and global precipitable water from the NASA Water Vapor Project. The new climatology complements and extends an existing one published by Groves in 1982 that provides seasonally averaged heating at tropical latitudes. The updated heating rates are of higher temporal and spatial resolution, and also enable an examination of year-to-year variability in water vapor heating over the 10-year span of the precipitable water dataset.
