Abstract
A method for measuring the concentration of water vapour in the mesopa use by active sensing at resonance wavelengths of the rotational spect rum is described and justified. It is shown that, for two-frequency se nsing, simultaneous measurement of the height profiles of the concentr ation of water vapour and of the temperature within the mesopause is p ossible; in this case, mesospheric clouds do not hinder the taking of the measurements.
