Abstract
Radiometric measurements of precipitable water vapor were made at Porto Santo Island, Madeira, Portugal, over a one-year period. Temporal variability of the precipitable water vapor is estimated using structure functions. The power law index of the structure functions is compared to values predicted by a statistical model of water vapor fluctuations
