What percentage of the earth's water is tied up in the atmosphere (clouds)?

 About 2.0x10^13 tonnes of water is in the atmosphere, out of a total of 1.4x10^18 tonnes in the hydrosphere. That would be .0014%.

The mantle (lithosphere) contains about as much water as the hydrosphere, so counting that it would be .0007%.
