Sentences with phrase «air holds more water»

In a warmer world, air holds more water vapor, so when cloud conditions are right for that vapor to form droplets, more precipitation falls.

First, warm air holds more water vapor than cold air — and the rising air temperatures since the 1970s have caused the atmospheric water vapor content to rise as well.

Warmer air holds more water vapor than colder air, so global warming will make the lower atmosphere wetter.

Warmer air holds more water vapour so that warmer air will extract more vapour from the ocean surface thereby cooling the ocean surface..

Warmer air holds more water vapor than colder air, so the amount of water vapor in the lower atmosphere increases as it is warmed by the greenhouse effect.

So a local spike in precipitation releases a lot of heat — but as the heat increases, this negatively affects the vapor - > water transition (precipitation, or raindrop formation), since warm air holds more water then cool air — and so the limit on precipitation vis - a-vis the radiative balance of the atmosphere appears.

(skipped evaporation of water — warmer air holds more water — column has been measured etc..

In this sense, rewilding holds the potential to stabilize far more than natural areas in peril: it can enhance and protect national security by sequestering carbon and safeguarding fresh water, fertile soils, cleaner air.

Heaving water holds 40 times more energy than air moving at the same speed, and sea states change more slowly than breezes, making it easier for utilities to predict the availability of energy.

Warmer air can hold more water vapour that is eventually rained out, and warmer water holds more energy for a hurricane to draw its power from.

By analyzing global water vapor and temperature satellite data for the lower atmosphere, Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist Andrew Dessler and his colleagues found that warming driven by carbon dioxide and other gases allowed the air to hold more moisture, increasing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

«Simple physics tells us that warmer air can hold more water vapour.

After all, warmer air can hold more water, and some research suggests global warming could increase California's average rain and snowfall.

The warmer air will be able to hold more water.

In addition, it was already known via the Clausius - Clapeyron relation, that warmer air can hold more water vapour: the amount is about 7 % more per degree Celsius of warming.

The warming due to water vapor helps the air hold water, but in the Earth's orbit, it is not actually sufficient to keep the air warm enough to keep the water it already has — so you go into the death spiral, with a bit of cooling, less water, then more cooling, and so on to Snowball.

Cats need water all 4 seasons; more so in winter, as cold air holds less moisture, and indoor heating dries out their skin.

It is true, however, that most heavy snowfalls occur with relatively warm air temperatures near the ground — typically 15 °F or warmer since air can hold more water vapor at warmer temperatures.»

As it gets warmer, a kilogram of air can hold more grams of water before condensation starts to occur.

That makes the land more moist, because cold air holds less water.

Feedbacks: the warmer the air the more water it can hold before raining it out.

Even given these stipulations, it is very, very hard to blame this present flooding on the warming given logic like Trenberth's, that warmer air can hold more water vapor.

The loss of ice cover not only means that more open water will be around to directly warm the air into the Arctic night, but that more water vapor will be around to hold heat in.

Cold water may hold more CO2, but the amount it absorbs from the air depends on how saturated it already is.

First is that warmer air can hold more water vapor, leading to torrential rains in coastal regions that last longer than usual.

It is quite different from the more familiar relative humidity, which is the amount of water vapor in air relative to the amount of water vapor the air is capable of holding.

It is generally accepted that a warmer climate will result in more water evaporating from the land and sea and therefore resulting in a higher level of water in the atmosphere, partly because the warmer the air is the more water it can hold.

As warmer air can hold more water vapor, which is also a greenhouse gas, this will amplify the effect.

If it is extreme wet, it is 100 % proof of AGW as warmer air can hold more water, hence more intense precipitation.

The Clausius - Clapeyron equation specifies that as the temperature of the air rises the ability of the air to hold more water vapor rises exponentially.

The notion of an H2O positive feedback (which probably is present on a clear day) is squashed by this process.While warmer air can hold exponentially more water vapor, presumably increasing greenhouse effects (an process the IPCC hangs its collective hat on), it is also this exact same property that vastly improves the chances of convective and phase change heat transport by thunderstorms.

But air temperature would increase significantly, and entire atmosphere could hold many factors more water, so in about century, all ice caps could be gone.

And warmer air can hold more water in vapor form which means less clouds.

Not to mention the fact that the air holds 1.4 % more water at a 2 degree increase, so you'd see more clouds and more rainfall in the foodbelt.

That is based on real (be it upscaled) measurements, and measurements of how much more water warmer air can hold.

And more importantly, the amount of water vapor air can hold depends upon temperature — most of us will have experienced this, in the form of the «fall» of dew during the natural cooling of a summer's evening.
