Anyone with half a brain would dispute it, it is one of your more laughable claims.

Never heard of 'atmospheric seeing'?

http://www.jstor.org/stable/40680729?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

How about 'boundary layer'?

http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-equipment/beating-the-seeing/

Both are caused by the refraction of light by air.

You have less brainpower than a box of rocks.

Refraction only happens in droplets, dumbass.

There is no chance at all that you are correct, none.

http://refractiveindex.info/?shelf=other&book=air&page=Ciddor

Note that this index graph is specifically for dry air...

http://emtoolbox.nist.gov/Wavelength/Documentation.asp

Here you can read that, in the formulas presented, you can represent the humidity anywhere for 0% to 100% and that air is refractive at all degrees of humidity...

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/indrf.html

Here you can see that air at STP has an index of refraction of 1.00029, whereas water has an index of 1.33.

If refraction only happened in water droplets, then it would clearly measured at 1.33 and not something much less.

It is pretty clear to all just who is the dumbass here...

  I dispute your specific claim, that "refraction must involve microdroplets" in Schlieren photography. That technique relies specifically on refraction due to density differences in a transparent medium, usually air, though other media are often used in the technique, including water. The US Navy for instance did, and still does, extensive in-water work with Schlieren photography to minimize drag on torpedos.

  Do you assert that water microdroplets do the refracting in in-water Schlieren photography?

Well, hmm, the boiling temperature of H2O at sea level is . . . hmm.

... not important! 

... has no bearing on the presence of water in the air in its gaseous state!

... has nothing whatsoever to do with dry air being heavier than humid air!

... has nothing to do with the jet stream!

... has nothing to do with the index of refraction of air!

... has nothing to do with the index of refraction of water!

... has nothing to do with convection in the atmosphere!

... has nothing to do with the fact that you are clearly not a physicist!

These are the kind of excuses non-physicist use to continue pretending 
they understand what they do not.  It is a fact--plain and simple--that you 
have no evidence that substantiates your goofy belief that gaseous H2O 
occurs at temperatures below its known boiling temperature/pressure.

Excuses? EXCUSES? You've got to be kidding!

Unlike you, I actually HAVE a degree in physics. Well, OK, actually in astrophysics... OK, it's 47 years old, but still, it is a LOT more than you have!

YOU are the goofy guy with the wacky theory that flies in the face of hundreds of years of experimental science, and therefore it is YOU who needs to provide the proof of your theory. Science today has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that water in its gaseous state exists in the air and that it gets there either by boiling (fast method) or by evaporation (slow method) or even by sublimation, whereas frozen water passes right by the liquid state directly to the gaseous state. There is PLENTY of evidence to support this position, and it is out there for anyone to find. Google is your friend, so get busy, something you should have done to begin with, before heading down the rocky path you have chosen instead. I'm not going to do your homework for you, why should I? Perhaps you are too stupid to find it? 

For your theory, on the other hand, you have provided exactly NOTHING in the way of either experiments or observations. Besides, others here have provided ample links to valid experiments, which you have chosen to ignore. A real physicist would show his work, but apparently this is something that you are unable or unwilling to share.

Put up or shut up, those are your only options, either here or in the scientific community. Go big or go home. We all know you can't possibly go big, so... bye!

It's funny how ogten people want to discuss education and credentials 
after they have failed to support their argument.

All you have is anecdote.

If you can't find it what makes you think it will be any different for me?


 and therefore it is YOU who needs to provide the proof of your theory. Science today has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that water in its gaseous state exists in the air

Did somebodies dog eat the evidence?  Pity.

 and that it gets there either by boiling (fast method) or by evaporation (slow method) or even by sublimation, whereas frozen water passes right by the liquid state directly to the gaseous state.

Do you dispute the steam tables?  Yes or No?
