Sentences with phrase «global humidity»
"Global humidity" refers to the amount of water vapor present in the Earth's atmosphere all around the world. It measures the overall level of moisture present in the air worldwide. Full definition
Natural swings in the power of the greenhouse effect occur all the time as total global humidity changes.

The power of the weather systems is well able to cope with large variations in oceanic energy output and the variations in the power of the greenhouse effect in the air arising from natural changes in global humidity.
AFAICS, the only negative feedbacks are: 1) the increase in precipitation of snow with increased global humidity levels; and 2) the physical fact that as snow melts and water evaporates, those endothermic processes cool the surrounding area (but again I am doubtless missing a few).
Global humidity data at very high altitudes in the stratosphere and above.
A slight change of ocean temperature (after a delay caused by the high specific heat of water, the annual mixing of thermocline waters with deeper waters in storms) ensures that rising CO2 reduces infrared absorbing H2O vapour while slightly increasing cloud cover (thus Earth's albedo), as evidenced by the fact that the NOAA data from 1948 - 2008 shows a fall in global humidity (not the positive feedback rise presumed by NASA's models!)
Therefore a statistic that combines average global temperature, global humidity, and the negative of ice cover should increase every year.
