Sentences with phrase «more atmospheric water»

One of the most well - known effects of global warming is an intensification of the water cycle, with higher air temperatures leading to increased evaporation from the seas and soils, and more atmospheric water vapor contributing to more frequent heavy precipitation events.

A warmer world has more atmospheric water vapour, and reduces temperature extremes and variability.

Not exact matches

However, more atmospheric CO2 is predicted to increase crop biomass and subsequent yields, and reduce water use by allowing plant stomates to open over shorter periods, thus assimilating the same amount of atmospheric CO2 while conserving moisture (Cutforth et al. 2007).

CO2 is more soluble in colder than in warmer waters; therefore, changes in surface and deep ocean temperature have the potential to alter atmospheric CO2.

In them a planet might still be able to support liquid water on its surface if more exotic atmospheric compositions are allowed.

The CDR potential and possible environmental side effects are estimated for various COA deployment scenarios, assuming olivine as the alkalinity source in ice ‐ free coastal waters (about 8.6 % of the global ocean's surface area), with dissolution rates being a function of grain size, ambient seawater temperature, and pH.

The atmospheric effects more than make up for this shortcoming, though I wish the water effects were better.

New invading CO2 will carry the new atmospheric isotopic composition but the water still has more isotopes to exchange to reach equilibrium, and so it will take much longer before the isotopes respond fully.

In particular, I won't be surprised if continued decade - to - decade variability in atmospheric circulation results in more, and less, intrusion of circumpolar deep water onto the continental shelf, and to more, and less, rapid thinning of ice shelves in West Antarctica *.

--- ignorance about atmospheric chemistry really shows here...... snip --- «Moreover, the CO2 that is supposedly causing «catastrophic» warming represents only 0.00035 of all the gases in the atmosphere (1.25 inches out of a 100 - yard football field), and proposals to control this vital plant nutrient ignore a far more critical greenhouse gas: water vapor.»

If you combined your air conditioners with «atmospheric water generators» you would could also harvest some more water.

Thus, if the absorption of the infrared emission from atmospheric greenhouse gases reduces the gradient through the skin layer, the flow of heat from the ocean beneath will be reduced, leaving more of the heat introduced into the bulk of the upper oceanic layer by the absorption of sunlight to remain there to increase water temperature.

We've been moving CO2 out of sequestration (fossil fuels) into the more mobile atmosphere, water, biosphere — and as a result atmospheric concentrations of CO2 will be out of equilibrium until much slower natural processes move the carbon out of those compartments.

«We see some trends that are linked with changes in atmospheric conditions, such as more water content in the atmosphere due to global warming,» Hoppe says.

We do not need models to anticipate that significant rises in atmospheric CO2 concentrations harbor the potential to raise temperatures significantly (Fourier, 1824, Arrhenius, 1896), nor that the warming will cause more water to evaporate (confirmed by satellite data), nor that the additional water will further warm the climate, nor that this effect will be partially offset by latent heat release in the troposphere (the «lapse - rate feedback»), nor that greenhouse gas increases will warm the troposphere but cool the stratosphere, while increases in solar intensity will warm both — one can go on and on

What is pretty clear, though, is that this year's extreme wetness on the seasonal scale has pushed parts of California's aging water infrastructure to the brink — and had even a single additional warm, wet atmospheric river come ashore during the peak of winter, the overall flood situation might have been considerably more serious.

Claiming that CO2 is IR reactant in the laboratory, as it is, does not mean that it reacts in exactly the same way in the atmosphere, or even more importantly, the troposphere where the atmospheric CO2 and water molecules are supposed to do the reradiation bit.

Surely these differences would be more significant if some showed cooling, other Global temperature measurements such as Radiosonde, SST's and the proxy atmospheric water vapor also indicate warming, so inconsistancies between the indexs surel are more a technical issue.

It's my understanding that NVAP data shows as atmospheric CO2 increases, water vapor decreases; exactly opposite what climate models predict because they assume water vapor is a net positive feedback; more wv, more warming, more wv, more warming.....

As water warms more evaporation occurs carrying energy higher in the troposphere where it can be lost more easily — but there are considerations of wind speed and atmospheric humidity.

The carbon chemistry of the surface waters is thus changing much more quickly than can be explained by simple immediate forcing from atmospheric CO2.
