Abstract :
The possibilities to restore of humidity profiles from satellite data in the atmosphere transparency window 0.3 cm and water vapour resonance 1.35 cm have been investigated. Numerical simulations have been carried out and the accuracy of determination of humidity profiles have been discussed
