Abstract

A statistical model of a water‐vapour absorption band is discussed, and comparison with computations made by Cowling shows that it provides a very accurate account of the average transmission over narrow frequency bands. The model can be used to compute the atmospheric transmission by water vapour under conditions of meteorological importance which were not treated by Cowling.

## Abstract Recently reported measurements by the Meteorological Research Flight C‐130 aircraft over the tropical Atlantic have shown that existing models of infrared water vapour continuum absorption underestimate its magnitude by up to 30%. This paper presents additional results from more recent
