The temperature lapse rate of the troposphere g / (Cp + Ch) is related to the gravitation (g = 9.81 m / s ²) and to the heating Ch of the top of
the air by condensation of water vapor and by absorption of the solar infrared by water vapor and by liquid water (if any in clouds...).
Huge quantities of energy are taken from water surfaces by evaporation then dumped higher up in
the air by condensation to accelerate the expulsion of energy to space.
Not exact matches
Then, just as the aircraft bursts through the sound barrier, the
air is locally disturbed
by the resulting shock wave and the
condensation / vapor cloud disappears.
Other notable features include Smart
Air Intake, which reduces drag by carefully managing the intake of outside air for the HVAC system, and also an accompanying Auto Defog system that prevents condensation from building on the glass by monitoring cabin air conditions to manage the cycling of the A / C compress

According to my old text book «A Short Course in Cloud Physics»
by Rogers and Yau (1989, p. 95 in Third edition): «
Condensation nuclei of some sort are always present in the atmosphere in ample numbers: clouds form whenever there are vertical
air motions and sufficient moisture».
It's essentially a cooler with two chambers that facilitates
condensation, and takes in
air as the bike moves, which is then slowed and cooled down
by barriers that allows it to condense and form water, which is channelled and collected in the bottle.
And the process of
condensation where moist
air forms clouds is the process
by which the latent heat is released — warming the lower troposphere while cooling the surface.
BUT that if we continue to add CO2 to the
air, the
air has the added heat capacity to get warmer, IF and ONLY IF driven
by the sun, but rapidly come to equilibrium with the ocean,
by means of rain and the daily heating &
condensation of the water vapor feedback mechanism.
By equivalent we mean approaches supported by robust evidence (such as monitoring studies) to demonstrate their efficacy, with particular regard to indoor air quality, energy performance, comfort, and the prevention of surface / interstitial condensatio

Heat (not latent heat) is removed prior to
condensation by conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy which then provokes
condensation and when the phase change occurs the release of latent heat causes the
air parcel to rise a little further with additional conversion of KE to PE until it reaches the correct lapse rate temperature for its height and then it stops rising and begins to descend.
The open cycle consists of the following steps: (i) flash evaporation of a fraction of the warm seawater
by reduction of pressure below the saturation value corresponding to its temperature (ii) expansion of the vapor through a turbine to generate power; (iii) heat transfer to the cold seawater thermal sink resulting in
condensation of the working fluid; and (iv) compression of the non-condensable gases (
air released from the seawater streams at the low operating pressure) to pressures required to discharge them from the system.
An aposite example is «Potential energy of atmospheric water vapor and the
air motions induced
by water vapor
condensation on different spatial scales» which can be found at http://www.bioticregulation.ru/common/pdf/neraz-en.pdf.
Heated
by condensation on the rise, the descending dry
air would adiabatically heat up at 9.8 deg C per 1000 meters and so that it would rapidly become warmer than surrounding atmosphere having a standard lapse rate of 6.5 deg C per 1000 meters.
This would seem to indicate that
condensation is greatly helped
by these nuclei, but, depending on conditions, they are not absolutely required for
condensation to begin, especially in subfreezing
air.
The presence of cloud
condensation and ice nuclei in
air parcels is tested
by using cloud chambers in which controlled temperatures and relative humidities are specified.
I am thinking the solar energy invested in evaporation (in this case, of irrigation water) is matched
by the energy released during
condensation; energy released to the atmosphere, raising the temperature of the
air.
This is particularly the case in areas where a change in SST causes the formation of fog, since much of the sea temperature change is taken up, not
by a corresponding
air temperature change, but
by the
condensation of water.
Condensation then restores the weight of the
air parcel back to the global average
by removing the latent heat.
Ascending
air cools The only heating is from solar infrared (absorbed
by water vapour) and
condensation (of water vapour); the heating in the altitude explains the Ch.
The UNtopia theory (Sahel reforestation and bass pond) is similar the
condensation driven winds, only the trees to be planted
by the scientists provides a natural surface temperature inversion with cool moist
air, the wind bags, er scientists, provide the initial kinetic as they rush to publish.
capt.d., the rain is formed
by condensation in ascending
air.
(The
air heated
by condensation will continue to rise, but there can't be «vacuum» around the
condensation, the colder
air at that level will come in to replace any lighter hotter
air rising, and colder is heavier so will sink which increases the pressure at the surface.)
The local pressure reduction pointed to when
condensation reduces volume is instantly offset
by mass flowing into the original volume from the surroundings and the energy released is not enough to make the
air parcel and the liquid contents lighter than
air containing water vapour.
So on
condensation, under the still rising hotter lighter
air carrying on doing its thing and perhaps adding new layers, there would be the accompanying volume and temperature decrease of that first previously rising lighter volume now heavier liquid water and added to
by the adjacent volumes of heavier colder
air flowing beneath the still rising lighter hotter and into the space now available on
condensation of its neighbour, which all now being heavier will increase the pressure at the surface as they all sink together displacing the lighter.
As said on cards n ° 1, n ° 6 and n ° 15, for an atmosphere in a gravitation field, the tropospheric lapse rate is dT / dz = — g / (Cp + Ch) where g = 9,8 m / s ², Cp = 1005 J / kg, and Ch summarizes the effect of the heating of the
air (1)
by absorption of the solar infrared
by water vapour or liquid and (2)
by the
condensation of the water vapour.
They end the chapter «This proves that water vapor
condensation in any adiabatic process is necessarily accompanied
by reduced
air pressure.»
JimD, «capt.d., the rain is formed

The cloud
condensation nuclei counter measures the concentration of aerosol particles
by drawing an
air sample through a column with thermodynamically unstable supersaturated water vapor that can condense onto aerosol particles.
This can't be the case for the obvious reason that pressure is determined solely
by the mass of
air and water above it, which is unchanged
by condensation.
This paper actually proposes that the sensible heat released
by condensation warms the dryer
air to a point where it becomes even lighter than
air containing water in vapour form.
@PP: «This proves that water vapor
condensation in any adiabatic process is necessarily accompanied

air pressure.»
Pekka, «The influence of
condensation on the volume and density of moist
air is also understood
by every scientist working on these issues.
I was unhappy with my comment and so have been looking it up and have confirmed that the energy released
by condensation warms the
air.
Remove the water vapour and the
air which lacks it must descend.The heat released
by condensation can never heat it enough to make it lighter than
air containing water vapour.
The influence of
condensation on the volume and density of moist
air is also understood
by every scientist working on these issues.
I would not however accept that this rephrasing is equivalent to AM's phrasing «water vapor
condensation in any adiabatic process is necessarily accompanied
by reduced
air pressure» because the latter carries with it the implication that if significant
condensation occurs at a fixed altitude, with no other effect such as failling rain, then there is a reduction of
air pressure.
Somewhat late, but if
condensation drives winds
by a decreasing the number density of water vapor in the
air, then as clouds form they should shrink in size due to the negative pressure.
It seems to me that the low pressure at the surface created
by the expansion of rising gases would begin to alter at whatever height there was
condensation, so while it may appear to still be low pressure at the surface this is about to change as
condensation gets into its stride and the colder
air around the
condensation will also be getting heavier.
It is not possible for the sensible energy released
by condensation to cause enough heating to prevent the
air from contracting cooling and descending so the net result must be an increase not a decrease in surface pressure.
1g / kg of
condensation releases enough latent heat to warm the
air by 2.5 C. 2.
Then Nick's dry
air motor example is not relevant: it only proves that dry
air circulated
by motor is NOT a
condensation - induced circulation.
A detailed and very accurate calculation of the atmospheric flows of moist
air must take into account also the effects related to the volume taken
by water vapor both when water vapor is added
by evaporation and when it's removed in
condensation, but these effects are very minor corrections and not a source of anything significant.
The lapse rate of nonrising
air — commonly referred to as the normal, or environmental, lapse rate — is highly variable, being affected
by radiation, convection, and
condensation; it averages about 6.5 °C per kilometre (18.8 °F per mile) in the lower atmosphere (troposphere).
Temperature changes induced
by sun and oceans drive
air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation,
condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.
Populations around the globe have so far, unfortunately, accepted the «commercial
air traffic
condensation trail» official lie that is fed to them
by agencies and the vast majority of government sponsored academia.
Much more energy is transferred via the processes of evaporation /
condensation and freeze / sublimation at relative constant
air temperature than can be accounted for
by changes in
air temperature.
