The atmosphere is saturated and no
less humid air is moving in.
The problem with this is that the ability of evaporation to drive tropical storms relies not only on temperature but humidity as well, and calls for drier,
less humid air.
Since water vapor is lighter than the main constituents of air, air containing water vapor is lighter and so rises above
less humid air.
The problem with this is that the ability of evaporation to drive tropical storms relies not only on temperature but humidity as well, and calls for drier,
less humid air.
Hot weather leaves me wanting cooler
less humid air, pumpkin spice and fall foods.
Not exact matches
Here in Arizona, outside
air is most definitely
less humid than inside
air.
By increasing the humidity, the solar energy is used more efficiently, or putting it another way there is
less energy lost to space by the emission of longwave radiation because
humid air has a strong greenhouse effect.
As plants cease evaporating groundwater, the
air becomes even
less humid — and since this near - ground humidity is about half of what condenses into summer rainstorms, there is even
less rain.
It's far from a complete picture of the cyclonic processes because one has to take into account that there are changes in energy due to altitude and that the system is open; able to draw in e.g.
less -
humid air from around the storm, leading to further surface evaporation.
Water vapour is a strong greenhouse gas and the dry desert
air traps much
less heat than more
humid areas.
All that is needed is to add heat carried upwards past the denser atmosphere (and most CO2) by convection and the latent heat from water changing state (the majority of heat transport to the tropopause), the albedo effects of clouds, the inability of long wave «downwelling» (the blue balls) to warm water that makes up 2 / 3rds of the Earth's surface, and that due to huge differences in enthalpy dry
air takes far
less energy to warm than
humid air so temperature is not a measure of atmospheric heat content.
Once the
air becomes
less humid or the glass warms, the condensation vanishes.
«
Humid air holds water vapor until it contacts a surface whose temperature is
less than or equal to the dew point,» he says.
