The method of microwave radiometry for investigations of the atmospheric water vapor and integrated cloud liquid water content is considered. Some results of experimental studies of temporal and spatial variations in the integrated water vapor and cloud liquid water contents using ground-based microwave radiometers during different meteorological condition as well as during developments of dangerous weather phenomena are presented. The results of the experiments confirm the prospects of using microwave radiometric information for forecasting of dangerous weather events associated with the development of convective clouds and thunderstorms.
