Greg and Jeff, I think average annual and monthly dewpoint data can be used as an indication of changes occurring in water vapor near the surface. I remember reading about increasing upper level atmospheric water vapor in an article that was posted to another group a couple years ago. I developed summaries of average dewpoints for 43 stations in the Great Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes States for years 1948 - 2002. My tables for average dewpoint can be found by clicking on 'Links' from P&C discussion group, homepage URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Paleontology_and_Climate/ After going to the homepage URL click on 'Links to get to the directory of folders. Then click on the folder titled: - - - Dewpoints, humidity, water vapor - - - You may need to become a member of P&C to access Links in Folders.
