Sentences with phrase «atmospheric humidity»

We note that this study has not taken into account the potential changes in atmospheric humidity caused by sea ice removal, which should be a focus of future work.

The finding suggests that models used to gauge the impact of drought on ecosystems should be refined to more accurately account for the role of low atmospheric humidity.

For CO2 to cause dangerous warming it must cause an increase in atmospheric humidity.

The National Space Development Agency of Japan contributed a microwave scanning radiometer to measure water vapor content and precipitation rates, and Brazil's space agency provided a device to measure atmospheric humidity.

«Similarly, increased atmospheric humidity during spring and summer months over the Northern Plains was noted for roughly the same time period.

Landscaping has also been used for centuries as a method of microclimate amelioration for human habitation, including wind protection, thermal buffering, and atmospheric humidity modification.

The paths and floor of a greenhouse should be gravel, cinders, crushed stone, concrete, brick or other material, because a loose surface absorbs moisture better and helps to maintain desirable atmospheric humidity.

Simmons, A. J., K. M. Willett, P. D. Jones, P. W. Thorne, and D. P. Dee, 2010: Low - frequency variations in surface atmospheric humidity, temperature, and precipitation: Inferences from reanalyses and monthly gridded observational data sets.

Thus, future changes in atmospheric humidity and temperature distributions in the upper troposphere will have consequences for aviation - induced cloudiness.

Nano - sized gas sensors in mobile telephones that measure the atmospheric humidity are nothing new as such.

These terms are sensitive to air temperature, atmospheric humidity, cloudiness, and wind.

Open water also is a source of humidity, as opposed to sea - ice (because its cold, not because its dry), but the atmospheric humidity is also influenced by the moisture transport associated with the wind (moisture advection).

According to the video, the project takes advantage of the fact that it rarely rains in Lima (it lies in a coastal desert region), yet the atmospheric humidity is also around 98 percent.

More recently other important predictors, e.g., atmospheric humidity, have been considered (e.g., Charles et al., 1999b; Hewitson, 1999).

In a third paper, accepted for publication by the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Climatology, three scientists — two Australians and one American, revisit data on upper - atmospheric humidity.

Low - frequency variations in surface atmospheric humidity, temperature, and precipitation: Inferences from reanalyses and monthly gridded observational data sets

There could be two impacts, from an increase in air temperature and / or atmospheric humidity.

Besides these thousands of thermometer readings from weather stations around the world, there are many other clear indicators of global warming such as rising ocean temperatures, sea level, and atmospheric humidity, and declining snow cover, glacier mass, and sea ice.

Temperatures are continuing to rise with consequent increases in evaporation and atmospheric humidity and reductions in snow amount and snow season length in many regions.

As water warms more evaporation occurs carrying energy higher in the troposphere where it can be lost more easily — but there are considerations of wind speed and atmospheric humidity.

When surface temperature warms (both land and sea surface), it leads to more evaporation, and consequently an increase in atmospheric humidity.

It includes temperature and atmospheric humidity and is measured by covering a standard thermometer bulb with a wetted cloth and fully ventilating it.

The follow - up study to this work relates heat waves globally to changes in soil moisture.One theoretical consequence of the CO2 - warming hypothesis is that increases in atmospheric humidity will greatly amplify the warming signal due to CO2 alone and will also amplify extremes.

We analyse the response of the atmospheric humidity, temperature and radiative fields to the eruption of Mt Pinatubo to determine time constants for the growth and the decay of perturbations in these fields.
