There is
also less evaporation of moisture from the soil.
Not exact matches
There are some various proposed mechanisms to explain this that involve the surface energy balance (e.g.,
less coupling between the ground temperature and lower air temperature over land because of
less potential for
evaporation), and
also lapse rate differences over ocean and land (see Joshi et al 2008, Climate Dynamics), as well as vegetation or cloud changes.
LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had
less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic
also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the
evaporation deficit.
Early morning
also tends to be when wind speeds are lower and, therefore, when water
evaporation is
less likely to occur.
