Temporal Variation in Vapor Radiances:  Two GOES Sounder channels are being used to examine the temporal variation of water vapor in the middle to lower troposphere.  Synoptic scale instabilities due to a relative warming or cooling aloft are observed.  Synoptic scale dynamic features such as jet streaks or large scale gravity waves are apparent in the vapor radiance field.
