Short summary
We created a reliable dataset of atmospheric water vapor from China's coastal stations (2009–2019), validated against global models and radiosonde data. The study highlights strong links between water vapor and sea surface temperature, aiding understanding of weather, extreme events, and climate change. This dataset supports improved forecasting and climate research.
