Sentences with phrase «fueled by moisture»

These cyclones are different from the tropical variety (a.k.a. hurricanes), which are fueled by moisture.

Not exact matches

Most of the moisture in the area comes from the east, in snowstorms fueled by moist air rising from the Amazon Basin.

For instance, the direct effect of climate change in regulating fuel moisture could be counterbalanced by the indirect effects on fuel structure.

A recent study published in Scientific Reports, led by researchers of the University of Barcelona in collaboration with several other research institutions, shows that the direct effect of climate change in regulating fuel moisture (droughts leading to larger fires) is expected to be dominant, regarding the indirect effect of antecedent climate on fuel load and structure - that is, warmer / drier conditions that determine fuel availability.

While cyclones on Earth are fueled by the heat and moisture of the oceans, no such bodies of water exist on Saturn.

Fueled by tropical moisture drawn north and pinned over the area by a stalled weather pattern, the amount of precipitation between Sept. 9 and 15 in some areas was more than what typically falls in an entire year.

That's because air passing over forests picks up moisture given off by trees and plants, fueling rains.

And they wanted to test their theory on the clouds that do form in this region — warm convective clouds that are fuelled by the ocean's moisture.

Rust flakes and moisture from condensation will eventually make their way into your fuel tank, and will then be collected by the Land Rover fuel filter.

Projected warming and drying in spring and summer combined with earlier snowmelt and more winter rain would likely exacerbate this trend by facilitating fire ignition and diminishing fuel moisture during the dry season [85].

As such, increasing variability in moisture conditions have been linked to enhanced fires, as wet / dry oscillations promote rapid biomass growth and natural fire suppression (fuel accumulation), followed by subsequent burning [8,10 — 13].

Two processes can disrupt this system and cause a transition to a less dense transitional forest or to fire - adapted vegetation: (1) damage to canopy trees by fires fueled by dry understory vegetation; or (2) depletion of deep stores of soil moisture.

Global warming is making wet places wetter and dry places drier, and creating moisture - laden air that fuels hurricanes and snowstorms, making them much worse than they otherwise would be in a climate unchanged by human behaviors.
