As part of the LAtitudinal DIstribution of Middle Atmosphere Structure (LADIMAS) campaign, measurements of mesospheric and upper stratospheric water vapor concentration were made over a latitudinal range from 53 N to 63 S. The 22-GHz emission line of water vapor was observed by a new, portable, cryogenically cooled microwave radiometer that was carried on board the German research vessel Polarstern as it sailed from Bremerhaven, Germany, to the Antarctic during November and December, 1991. Water vapor profiles were obtained at approximately 5 deg latitude intervals for an altitude range of 40 to 80 km.
