Sentences with phrase «less water vapor»

Ok, the largest reason is probably less water vapor in the air now.
The result is less water vapor available for clouds or precipitation.
As for rainfall, in the simplest models, lowered temperatures decrease evaporation of water from the surface into the air; and less water vapor translates to less rain.
Further, more fires would mean fewer trees and that could mean that less water vapor transpired into the air, resulting in drier conditions.
By combining these two elements, VPD plots the unstable situation created when air holds less water vapor — or has a lower humidity — than is possible at a certain temperature.
Yet if there is less water vapor available due to the combined effect of «global dimming» and global warming, then it would seem to me that the more vapor - starved clouds that result would have to rely entirely on the aerosol indirect effect to overcome the diminished vapor availability.
They found that lead «supercharges» the clouds, causing them to form at higher temperatures and with less water vapor.
But since 2001 there has been less water vapor in a narrow, lower band of the stratosphere thanks to cooler temperatures in the tropopause, and that may just be holding back global warming at ground level, according to new research published online in Science on January 28.
Lindzen was allowed to print his «Iris Theory» (stating that global warming might end because of a natural increase in cooling - type clouds and less water vapor - a heat - trapping greenhouse gas) in Geophysical Research Letters (Jun. 26, 2001 - a legitimate peer - reviewed journal).
... the higher up you go the less water vapor you normally get because it is too cold to have available water vapor (the rate of condensation strongly exceeds the rate of evaporation)... unless you warm it and «suddenly water vapor just appears» where it was mostly absent before.
Less water vapor is associated with heat waves not more, so the greenhouse effect is lessened.
The cooler the air, the less water vapor (humidity) it can carry, while the warmer the air, the more water vapor it can carry.
This means that the more sea ice there is and the smaller the area of open water, the less water vapor is lifted into the atmosphere.
The lower the temperature, the less water vapor it takes to saturate the air.
3) His theory depends on more carbon dioxide in the air leading to less water vapor.
Changes in relative humidity don't tell you if you're getting more or less water vapor.
