The reduction of stationary - eddy vertical velocities limits the increase in strength of the zonally anomalous hydrological cycle that would otherwise result from the increased atmospheric moisture content with warming. (climate-dynamics.org)
Changes in Hadley circulation affects convection and thus atmospheric moisture content and cloud cover which may in turn affect net solar heating as well as the transfer of heat from Earth to space. (climatedepot.com)
But I believe there is little doubt that the record - breaking scale and potential destructiveness of Sandy is due in large part to the amplifying effects of warmer ocean temperatures, higher atmospheric moisture content, and unusual Arctic weather patterns. (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com)
