Sentences with phrase «column water vapour»

I am getting the data from ISCCP, http://isccp.giss.nasa.gov/products/browseatmos.html total column water vapour.

Total column water vapour has increased over the global oceans by 1.2 ± 0.3 % per decade from 1988 to 2004, consistent in pattern and amount with changes in SST and a fairly constant relative humidity.

ACME: Launch Radio sounding balloon to investigate the water vapour in the air column rising up to the troposphere.

Disaster agency spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said on Twitter that the white column derived from water vapour, while the dark grey was produced by magma.

According to Chen ea., the difference is not due to changes in clear sky radiation (too small, which may point to small differences in water vapour column), but in cloud cover.

The difference lies in the absence of water vapour in the descending column which then warms at a different rate to the cooling in ascent.

Areas with very high (40,000 ppm) of water vapour can easily be compared to areas at the same latitude with very low (nearly 0 ppm) of water vapour and the net radiation across the atmospheric column is precisely opposite to what you insist your experiments prove.

For earth the most prominent green house gas is water vapour and the top of the water vapour column is the tropopause.

In order of seniority, the seven feedbacks that seem outstanding are: Water vapour — rising by ~ 7 % per 1.0 C of warming; Albedo loss — due mostly to cryosphere decline; Microbial peat - bog decay — due to rising CO2 affecting ecological dynamics; Desiccation of tropical and temperate soils — due to SAT rise and droughts; Permafrost melt — due to SAT rise plus loss of snow cover, etc; Forest combustion — due to SAT rise, droughts, pest responses, etc; Methyl clathrates [aka methane hydrates] now threatened by rising sea - temperatures, increased water column mixing, Water vapour — rising by ~ 7 % per 1.0 C of warming; Albedo loss — due mostly to cryosphere decline; Microbial peat - bog decay — due to rising CO2 affecting ecological dynamics; Desiccation of tropical and temperate soils — due to SAT rise and droughts; Permafrost melt — due to SAT rise plus loss of snow cover, etc; Forest combustion — due to SAT rise, droughts, pest responses, etc; Methyl clathrates [aka methane hydrates] now threatened by rising sea - temperatures, increased water column mixing, water column mixing, etc..

Evaluations of column integrated water vapour from the NASA Water Vapor Project (NVAP; Randel et al., 1996), and reanalysis data sets from NRA, NCEP - 2 and ERA - 15 / ERA - 40 (see Appendwater vapour from the NASA Water Vapor Project (NVAP; Randel et al., 1996), and reanalysis data sets from NRA, NCEP - 2 and ERA - 15 / ERA - 40 (see AppendWater Vapor Project (NVAP; Randel et al., 1996), and reanalysis data sets from NRA, NCEP - 2 and ERA - 15 / ERA - 40 (see Appendix 3.

Figure 9.43 (a) Strengths of individual feedbacks for CMIP3 and CMIP5 models (left and right columns of symbols) for Planck (P), water vapour (WV), clouds (C), albedo (A), lapse rate (LR), combination of water vapour and lapse rate (WV+LR) and sum of all feedbacks except Planck (ALL), from Soden and Held (2006) and Vial et al. (2013), following Soden et al. (2008).

As I read for example Bony et al. 2006, Soden and Held 2006, there are in the IPCC dogma four «feedbacks»: increased atmospheric optical thickness due to increased water vapour column amount due to sustained relative humidity; cloud radiative effects; albedo effects; lapse rate effects.
