Abstract
During six months in 1999, we observed the water vapor emission line at 183 .31 GHz with a microwave radiometer at the high alpine site Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. We retrieved statistics on the atmospheric transmission and p rofiles of stratospheric water vapor on selected days. Our site seems well suited for observations of this spectral line.
