Since more evaporation leads to more precipitation, most climate researchers expected increased cirrus cloudiness to follow warming.
Not exact matches
Since leavening and
evaporation proceed
more quickly, the idea is to use a higher temperature to set the structure of baked goods before they overexpand and dry out.
Increased temperature leads to increased
evaporation from the sea, and thus to higher absolute humidity (assuming fixed relative humidity), and
since H2O molecules are even
more effective infrared absorbers than CO 2 molecules, the warming trend is reinforced.
While the energy input allows
more evaporation to occur, it's confusing the matter to say that this «cools» the surface,
since the
evaporation is just helping to carry away the heat put in by the other terms.
They thought the increased
evaporation from CO2 would make things even warmer
since water vapor is a
more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
Since latent heat transport (and surface cooling of the ocean) must increase in proportion to the rate of
evaporation, perhaps Wentz et al have identified a reason why the models appear to overstate climate sensitivity: the actual latent cooling increases by about 4 watts per square meter
more than the models predict for each degree rise in surface temperature.
