Project ?TROPWA? (Tropospheric water vapor and stratospheric ozone), is performing since April 1993 periodic ground based radiometric measurements of tropospheric water vapor at 92 GHz and stratospheric ozone at 142 GHz from Benegas Station, Mendoza, Argentina, and from some high locations in the Andes region. In this paper a brief description of the instrumentation used as well as their measurements and calibration procedures will be described. Some typical ozone and water vapor measurements will be presented.
