Sentences with phrase «holds more moisture»

In addition, a warmed atmosphere holds more moisture than a cool one.

And before anyone starts to argue that we have left out the direct (i.e., local) effect of global warming — that warmer air holds more moisture and thus it can rain more frequently and harder — McCabe and Wolock report very few long - term trends that would be indicative of steadily rising moisture levels.

Warmer air holds more moisture, and when it rains or snows the energy is released.

As Surfrider has mentioned in several previous blogs, climate change will produce more rain because as the atmosphere warms, it holds more moisture which will lead to increased precipitation.

Scientific research suggests that global warming causes heavier rainfall because a hotter atmosphere can hold more moisture and warmer oceans evaporate faster feeding the atmosphere with more moisture.

By analyzing global water vapor and temperature satellite data for the lower atmosphere, Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist Andrew Dessler and his colleagues found that warming driven by carbon dioxide and other gases allowed the air to hold more moisture, increasing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

In general, climate scientists expect heavy downpours to increase over the U.S. and elsewhere, as a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, making more of it available to fall as rain.

One of the leading hypotheses is that while warming throughout the atmosphere can make it more stable (bad news for tornadoes), it also means the atmosphere can hold more moisture (good news for tornadoes).

Although it stands to reason that a warming climate could worsen storm intensity since a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, Henson cautioned, «Even when researchers find that a given type of disaster has become more likely, a rare event is still going to be rare — and it can occur without any help from greenhouse gases.»

Higher temperatures lead to more evaporation from lakes, rivers and oceans, and warmer air can hold more moisture.
