Taipei

Water vapor measurement was carried out in a cabin top (~3 meter above the ground) on the grassland of the Department of Atmospheric Science (25°00’52”N 121°32’20”E; from Jan to Aug 2012) and at the 7th floor (~30 m above the ground) of the Department of Geography (25°00’54”N 121°32’18”E; from Aug, 2012 to Mar 2013), NTU campus.
