Water vapour is the most effective greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It influences weather and climate and is responsible for cloud development, precipitation, and modulates the atmospheric radiative energy transfer. It effects weather and climate and is responsible for cloud development, precipitation, and modulates the atmospheric radiative energy transfer. Therefore it influences the energy balance of the earth and,in turn, also effects the temperature and circulation of the earth-atmosphere system. The colors range from dark brown (indicating low level of water vapour) to white, blue and dark blue (indicating high level of water vapour)
