The weather changes from forest fires in Kalimantan resulted in the earth's changing very ekstrim. Water Vapor or Vapor is a manifestation of water in the form of gas. It is still a job has been difficult for researchers atmosphere. Global Positioning System (GPS) in the troposphere and are equipped with surface data, this study used 8 (eight) GPS stations Kalhutra GPS Array (SuGAR) and 2 (two) points which is the world IGS CORS station. This method is called inversion GPS, while the TERRA MODIS satellite imagery used methods transmittance. From the experiments conducted in this research process, obtained. From the results of plotting graphs of temporal variations, it is known that the average moisture content in the dry months ranged from 56.59 mm to 38.95 mm, while the wettest months in this case because the graph ranges from 58.71 mm to 47.72 mm. The obtained results from average Water Vapor during the fire that was in 2010 ranged from 70.26% in 2011 ranged between 84.49% and in 2026 ranged from 90.15%, but the correlation (r) between the Water Vapor from TERRA MODIS satellite imagery and GPS is quite high. Based on forest fires, MODIS estimate the humidity around 54-77%. But Water Vapor obtained TERRA MODIS satellite imagery ranges between ± 3-8 cm / day is ± 89.49%. Then it will affect human health, because it influences the weather cycle in Indonesia.
