Sentences with phrase «enhanced evaporation rates»

In addition to causing more downpours, these enhanced evaporation rates are also leading to an increase in drought severity in places that are already dry, like California.

Not exact matches

Will more evaporation enhance the CO2 greenhouse effect or can more humidity also reduce the lapse rate acting to dampen the GHE?

It is often said that because the temperature gradient (from subskin to skin) changes then the rate of upward energy flow must slow down but that would not be the case if the enhanced rate of evaporation speeds up the rate of flow again to negate the expected slowdown from a decreased gradient.

However on balance I think that the extra DLR just results in a zero effect on the «normal» upward energy flow because all the DLR would be used up in enhancing the rate of evaporation and accounting for the energy deficit caused by that enhancement of evaporation by virtue of the enthalpy of vapourisation (vapourisation has a net cooling effect).
