Abstract:

Recent publications concerning the so-called anomalous absorption of solar radiation in the atmosphere and the possible contribution of water vapor to this effect are briefly analyzed. The estimates presented show that uncertainty in current knowledge of the initial water vapor spectroscopic parameters, including water dimer hypothesis, can contribute only a small fraction of the recently revealed anomalous absorption of solar radiation in the atmosphere.
