Sentences with phrase «contains more water vapor»

Some climate scientists are claiming that more extreme weather events are occurring than in the past, and that the primary reason is because the atmosphere contains more water vapor due to the increase in the average global atmospheric temperature.

In global warming, the hotter air will contain more water vapor, and thus more energy will be released when the vapor condenses to drops.

Areas cold enough to have snow can expect more from a carbon - rich atmosphere containing more water vapor.

«Warmer air can contain more water vapor than cooler air,» according to the 2014 Climate Assessment produced by the U.S. government.

Not exact matches

For that to be possible, the air must contain even more water vapor than is usually required to form clouds, reaching a very high state of supersaturation.

According to the experiments of Langley, the carbon dioxide and the water vapor, which the atmosphere contains, are more opaque to the heat rays of great wave lengths which are emitted by the earth, than to the waves of various lengths which emanate from the sun.

But it requires some unlikely feedbacks, for example, cloud coverage halving as the atmosphere contains several times more water vapor.

-- It seems perfectly reasonable to me that if we imagine the surface never emits that energy in the first place, - energy that is stored in the surface and just below, i.e. oceans, lakes, rivers, ground, and air, — just to mention a few, then any surface temperature change would be completely reliant on variations in Solar irradiation and advection mainly by Water Vapor (WV) but also by other GHGs that have the ability to contain more heat than the rest of the atmospheric gases.
