Sentences with phrase «means more evaporation»

This would mean a greater daily water vapour flux, which means more evaporation and more rain.

Yet more DLR means more evaporation and you then try to say that the flow from the ocean slows down.

The tired old alarmist argument goes something like this: CO2 levels increase, which in turn increases temperature, which in turn means more evaporation, which in turn creates more clouds trapping the heat allowing less heat to be radiated off into space.

which in turn means more evaporation, which in turn creates more clouds trapping the heat allowing less heat to be radiated off into space

Higher temperatures mean more evaporation occurs.

Hotter days mean more evaporation, worsening the impacts of droughts even when there isn't a significant decrease in precipitation.

One thing that does seem clear is that warmer oceans (a la global warming) mean more evaporation, and that likely leads to storms with more and more dangerous rainfall of the kind we saw with Hurricane Irene last year.

And even though on average more warmth will mean more evaporation, and therefore more water vapour in the atmosphere and more precipitation in some of those zones that already have ample rainfall, the pattern could be different in the arid lands.

Not exact matches

The weaker temperature gradient would have meant less rainfall and more evaporation in the midlatitude North Pacific.

That means that for the same amount of liquid, more heat transfer occurs during the evaporation of water compared with the alcohol.

A warming atmosphere causes more evaporation, meaning more water is available for precipitation.

The increased temperatures cause higher evaporation rates meaning more moisture is pulled out of the tees.

«Even if an area remains wet doesn't mean that it will be protected from the other aspects of climate change: rising and far more erratic air temperatures, higher rates of evaporation (evapotranspiration), and the rising concentration of CO2,» he said in an e-mail message.

Plant die - off means carbon dioxide is released and more soil is exposed, increasing evaporation, and thus drying out the soil for neighboring plants.

-- Warm air causes more evaporation; air molecules are more active & can hold more moisture High air pressure usually means cooler drier weather.

The theory is that increasing CO2 will cause a small bit of warming and this will increase evaporation rates (which occur fastest in the tropics) and dumps more water vapour in the atmosphere (water vapour is by far a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2) and this feedback amplification is meant to continue until Earth settles down and finds a new equilibrium temperature.

Those effects include more rainfall that occurs in heavy downpours, meaning less is absorbed into the earth and more becomes runoff; more rain and less snowfall in the mountains, which means less melting snow to feed rivers in the spring and summer; and higher temperatures causing more evaporation.

«With global temperatures warmer now than they were at the beginning of the last century, that means our temperatures are warmer too, which increases the rate of evaporation and increases the demands on water, increases the stress on the water supply, and also leaves us more susceptible to breaking the high - temperature record, which we've been doing lately,» Nielsen - Gammon said.

An increase in global average annual temperature causes an evaporation increase; this means more H2O in the atmosphere to moderate the temperature range, as it always does.

Very little energy goes for cooling, because evaporation is a much more cost effective means of cooling.

On that basis more evaporation means faster flow from the ocean does it not?

For non-climate scientists, more evaporation means more precipitation, but not for Australia's:

This is believable as higher temps would mean more arable land, more evaporation would mean more rainfall and we have seen over the last 50 years as CO2 has climbed that total biotic life on the planet has increased some 30 - 50 % according to NASA satellites measurements.

Global warming means hotter temperatures, which lead to less snow and more evaporation.

For it to be snowier, you have to have more evaporation from the oceans, which means more heat, not more cool.
