Scientific paper

It is pointed out that the concentration of water vapor in the mesosphere and above cannot easily be measured because the quantity of water is very small as a consequence of low atmospheric density. The observation of resonant fluorescent radiation from water vapor in the 50-95 km region by the Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (SAMS) on the Nimbus 7 satellite is reported. The data are seen as suggesting that the mixing ratio of water vapor decreases with increasing height over this region, with a value of approximately 1 x 10 to the -6 v/v at 75-85 km.
