N2 - A simple two-channel solar radiometer and analysis technique have been developed for sensing atmospheric water vapor via differential solar transmission measurements in and adjacent to the 940 nm water vapor absorption band. A prototype solar radiometer developed for NOAA/ERL underwent trial measurements in Boulder, CO and during the FIRE Phase II CIFO program (Coffeyville, KA). These measurements provided the unique opportunity to compare solar radiometer water vapor retrievals with those obtained using NOAA microwave radiometers. The solar radiometer and microwave radiometer retrievals generally agreed within ∼7%.
