Sentences with phrase «high evaporation rates»

So again the devil is in the details — IMO the temperature hypothesis does stack up in the recent drought with high evaporation rates to boot.

Rosemary: Rosemary can be a great addition to your culinary herbs, while also serving as a groundcover plant to minimize bare soil and high evaporation rates.

Droughts also have the property that, in the wild areas, they kill off plants which have high evaporation rates, decreasing the evaporative cooling effects in subsequent years.

Rising temperatures pull more moisture out of trees due to higher evaporation rates.

The increased temperatures cause higher evaporation rates meaning more moisture is pulled out of the tees.

It has a lot to do with water stored in soils, which gets lost faster in a warmer climate due to higher evaporation rates.

Decreased flows are projected in the summer months in both basins, with up to a 55 percent decrease in August in the more southern Kootenay river basin due to higher evaporation rates.»

If we contend that seas are warming, wouldn't that lead to higher evaporation rates resulting in more cloud cover.

Warmer temperatures result in higher evaporation rates, and warmer air can hold more water vapour.

Not exact matches

The higher the rate of evaporation, the smaller this top layer becomes.

During the dry season, with no fog layer to reflect sunlight, the smaller cloud cover allows plants to receive much higher radiation, increasing evaporation and photosynthesis rates, another process missed by the GCMs.

The most saline open sea is the Red Sea, where high temperatures and confined circulation result in high rates of surface evaporation and there is little fresh inflow from rivers.

... the higher up you go the less water vapor you normally get because it is too cold to have available water vapor (the rate of condensation strongly exceeds the rate of evaporation)... unless you warm it and «suddenly water vapor just appears» where it was mostly absent before.

There are physical reasons to believe that a GW can result in more havy precipitations: a surface warming results in a higher rate of evaporation.

«Even if an area remains wet doesn't mean that it will be protected from the other aspects of climate change: rising and far more erratic air temperatures, higher rates of evaporation (evapotranspiration), and the rising concentration of CO2,» he said in an e-mail message.

Regardless of whether it caused a particular drought, AGW makes droughts worse because higher temperatures increase evaporation rates.

Equations about evaporation rates and convection patterns and temperatures are built into the model and then the output, not the input, is a feedback driving temperature higher.

Clouds are one of the big unknowns about global warming as they can have a range of effects, warmer temperatures caused by global warming will result in higher rates of evaporation and therefore will result in higher cloud cover.

The steady increase in global temperatures, including average temperatures in Australia, means that even when rainfall is at or near the historical average, conditions are drier than before because evaporation rates are higher.

Both effects imply a higher rate of evaporation of surface water given temperature and CO2 increases, though quantitative effects entail intractable calculations.

Higher temperatures appear to be raising evaporation rates and drying out the country's interior.

However, they may reduce productivity in warmer areas through increased rates of evaporation and stomatal closure due to higher vapor pressure deficits.

If we are to get a real idea of the rate of tropical convection that drives Hadley cell dynamics and the size of the subtropical high pressure cells we need to measure the rate of evaporation from the tropical ocean.

«With global temperatures warmer now than they were at the beginning of the last century, that means our temperatures are warmer too, which increases the rate of evaporation and increases the demands on water, increases the stress on the water supply, and also leaves us more susceptible to breaking the high - temperature record, which we've been doing lately,» Nielsen - Gammon said.

Fires: We know that higher temperatures lead to increased rates of evaporation, leading to rapid drying of soils.

Conversely, if you add heat to the system, two things will happen, the water will warm and the rate of evaporation will increase until the water vapor partial pressure gets high enough so that the rate of condensation again equals the rate of evaporation.

Results from Fall et al. (12) indicate that TE (i) is larger than T in 8 areas with higher physical evaporation and transpiration rates (e.g. deciduous broadleaf forests and croplands) and (ii) shows a stronger relationship than T to vegetation cover, especially during the growing season (biomass increase).

An increased rate of evaporation and convection will move the additional energy at the surface to a higher layer in the atmosphere and because evaporation carries energy in what's called «latent heat» there will be no measurable rise in temperature near the surface as thermometers measure what's called «sensible heat».

It is way down because of the extremely high rate of evaporation through sand dunes.

The annual loss of water from a reservoir in arid or semiarid regions, where evaporation rates are high, is typically equal to 10 percent of its storage capacity.
