Experimental results are presented which suggest that the water-vapor technique of radiance measurement is a viable alternative to the CO2 technique for inferring the height of semitransparent cloud elements. Future environmental satellites will rely on H2O-derived cloud-height assignments in the wind-field determinations with the next operational geostationary satellite. On a given day, the heights from the H2O and CO2 approaches compare to within 60-110 hPa rms.
