Also briefly reports projects realized by GIS-centre concerning of GIS methodology implementation to Povolzhie’ scientific-production and production organizations and lay down general working trends of the Saratov State University new innovation organization – the interregional centre of space monitoring. 

The paper is devoted to suggested semi-empirical method for determination of air relative humidity based on results of measurements of precipitated water vapors using sun photometers. The analysis of known Butler method make it possible to predict the presence of extremes in functional dependence of precipitated water vapors on relative humidity on the earth surface.
