Sentences with phrase «latent heat of condensation»

The condensation releases heat called latent heat of condensation.

However, global mean precipitation is controlled not by the availability of water vapour, but by a balance between the latent heat of condensation and radiative cooling in the troposphere.

When it reaches a level high enough to cool it to it's «dew point» the water vapour condenses out in the form of clouds and rainfall and the Latent Heat of Condensation is released into the upper part of the atmosphere to accelerate the escape of radiant energy to space.

At the dew point clouds condense out and the latent heat of condensation releases more energy which drives the convection higher.

It means that the moist adiabatic lapse rate is lower than the dry adiabatic lapse rate, and the latent heat of condensation is the reason for this lowering.

The latent heat of condensation is the reason for the lowering of the moist adiabatic lapse rate, which is the reason the models predict the upper troposphere in the tropics should warm significantly faster than the surface.

What on earth does «The latent heat of condensation is the reason for the lowering of the moist adiabatic lapse rate» mean?
