How can one estimate the water content of the atmosphere from surface
data such as temperature, dew point temperature, sea level pressure
and relative humidity? (The height of the station is also known.)

Thanks your help.

You can't.

Yes. But it is truth for above mentioned data. If one use the electric field
value one can estimate the water content of the atmosphere. See:

The measurement of the electric field is almost the direct measurement of
water content above you.
