Thacker, D.L., Gibbons, C.J., Schwartz, P.R. and Bevilacqua, R.M. (1981). Ground-based microwave observations of mesospheric H₂O in January, April, July, and September 1980. Geophysical Research Letters 8: doi: 10.1029/GL008i010p01059. issn: 0094-8276.

The 616-523, rotational transition at 22.2 GHz has been used to measure the H2O vertical profile in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere. Observations were made during January, April, July, and September 1980 and, except in April, the average profile was characterized by a 10 ppmv layer between 60 and 70 km and a decrease in concentration to less than 1 ppmv above 80 km.
