All these cooking fires are, in effect, drying the region, both by contributing to the melting of glaciers that feed Asia's major rivers as well as by decreasing the evaporation that drives rainfall.

Collectively, these data show general increasing trends in both plant growth and evaporation with recent climate change mainly driven by vegetation greening and rising atmosphere moisture deficits.

In this study, an OSU team that included graduate students Lauren Fullmer, Sara Goberna - Ferron and Lev Zakharov overcame the need for ligands with a three - pronged strategy: pH - driven hydrolysis by oxidative dissolution of zinc; metal nitrate concentrations 10 times higher than conventional syntheses; and azeotropic evaporation for driving simultaneous cluster assembly and crystallization at the surface of the solution.

The problem with this is that the ability of evaporation to drive tropical storms relies not only on temperature but humidity as well, and calls for drier, less humid air.

It is a reminder that in a warming world, there is also more evaporation to drive storms, which corresponds to heavier precipitation.

The sinking is mainly driven by the saltiness of the water, which is affected by evaporation of fresh water from the surface or, particularly in the Arctic, freezing seawater which leaves salt behind in the water beneath the ice.

Equations about evaporation rates and convection patterns and temperatures are built into the model and then the output, not the input, is a feedback driving temperature higher.

The surface has a closed energy budget, with heating driving sensible heat fluxes and evaporation.

In the Central Plains, drying would largely be caused by the same temperature - driven increase in evaporation.

Is it the long - awaited, predicted and scientifically reasonable CO2 fertilization feedback effect on the oceans» vast biomass of CO2 - consuming cyanobacteria, albeit also driven by the (literally) «shit - loads» of nitrogen compounds the human race is also pumping into the oceans — thereby shifting sea surface albedos, reducing evaporation rates and troposphere relative humidities (ringing any bells here, bros)?

The climate is then driven just by the thermodynamics of water evaporation and solar forcing.

After entering the Atlantic Ocean, the surface waters join the wind - driven currents in the Atlantic, becoming saltier by evaporation under the intense tropical sun.

«You have more evaporation, more energy, more heat and that's driving more moisture from the tropics which is where these atmospheric rivers originate,» Lynn Ingram, a professor of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of California, Berkeley, told IBT.

The atmosphere and ocean surface are roughly in equilibrium, driven by wind action, precipitation and evaporation.

In fact, the atmosphere does thermodynamic work in in sustaining macro-scale pressure gradients that drive the geostropic winds and in overcoming vapor pressure during evaporation.

Drought is expected to increase in frequency and severity in the future as a result of climate change, mainly as a consequence of decreases in regional precipitation but also because of increasing evaporation driven by global warming1 — 3.

Excess heat from cooling the solar system could be used to drive distillation, cooled by evaporation of some of the salt water, yielding fresh water in addition to energy.

Drought is primarily driven by a lack of rainfall, but warmer temperatures can exacerbate drought impacts by increasing evaporation.

If we are to get a real idea of the rate of tropical convection that drives Hadley cell dynamics and the size of the subtropical high pressure cells we need to measure the rate of evaporation from the tropical ocean.

Remember that the abstract states:, «The water vapor delivered to the atmosphere via evaporation represents a store of potential energy available to accelerate air and thus drive winds.

So this all comes down to the ratio between dry air temperature driven density and water evaporation / condensation injection / removal.

The problem with this is that the ability of evaporation to drive tropical storms relies not only on temperature but humidity as well, and calls for drier, less humid air.

If we add at a rate greater than evaporation **, we will drive level up.

Hence all the radiative - convective «models» since Manabe (1967) which assume a «radiative cooling of the surface» and forget evaporation are baseless: 71 % of the surface of globe is covered by oceans, and an additional 20 % of the surface covered by vegetation, driving evapotranspiration.

A temperature driven water evaporation loop is usually «suggested».

However, in the deep tropics, where the theoretical effects on the surface energy budget of temperature - driven changes in evaporation and water vapour are particularly strong, there is a near quarter century record of both SST and tas from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean array of fixed buoys in the Pacific ocean.

Such drying is a feature of human - caused climate change in that human - forced warming due to fossil fuel burning increases evaporation rates and related stress to forests even as it drives fundamental alterations to precipitation patterns that can substantially worsen drought and wildfire intensity.

They are primarily temperature driven and are of no account in the face of evaporation.

The oceans control the background rate of energy flow from ocean to air via The Hot Water Bottle Effect and it is the energy flow from ocean to air (supplemented to a miniscule extent by the greenhouse effect) that drives the rate of evaporation by creating varying temperature differentials between sea surface and air at the surface.

Temperature changes induced by sun and oceans drive air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.

In turn, the rate of evaporation drives the entire hydrological cycle by altering the size and latitudinal positions of the air circulation systems and thus the rate of energy transfer from surface to space.

It is particularly remarkable that rainfall driven by the Westerly Maritime Stream from the Atlantic has not risen markedly since the 1970s despite the belief global warming has been dramatic during this period and the expectation of increased oceanic evaporation and associated precipitation that should accompany such warming.

Such pollution increases cloud cover to cool the Earth's surface, reduces evaporation and, in turn, slows the momentum of air current bands that drive the global climate.
