Sentences with phrase «more water vapor added»

So the rising trend in the lower curve is going to represent much more water vapor added to the atmosphere than the declining top curve represents as leaving it.

Not exact matches

Prior to an eruption, gases — water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide — bubble out of the magma as it rises, adding more pressure to the volcanic system, she explains.

I ask this because, theoretically, given a relatively closed system, with heat energy being added, thermal expansion and contraction of gas and water vapor, more wind speed, more shouldn't this also mean more extreme weather?

Words only have meaning in context and while it may be true that water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the sense that more of it in the atmosphere will absorb more infrared radiation and warm the climate, it is not a greenhouse gas in the sense that it is a gas we need to seriously worry about adding directly to the atmosphere.

(PS regarding Venus — as I have understood it, a runaway water vapor feedback would have occured when solar heating increasing to become greater than a limiting OLR value (Simpson - Kombayashi - Ingersoll limit — see http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/climate-feedbacks-part-1/ — although I should add that at more «moderate» temperatures (warmer than today), stratospheric H2O increases to a point where H escape to space becomes a significant H2O sink — if that stage worked fast enough relative to solar brightening, a runaway H2O case could be prevented, and it would be a dry (er) heat.

You know the science behind it's called the green house effect when the sun beams down on the earth to provide energy to plants after that it reflects out to space but CO2, H2O (Water Vapor), and AO2 capture these particles and keep them in the earth adding more heat to the earth.

Even arbitrary scenarios could be constructed, built on reanalyses; for instance, adding 10 % more water vapor on the lateral boundaries of a Type 2 downscaling run.

This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).

You can then add in water vapor and so on with my complete blessing, as long as you do not assert that gravity can do any net, continuous work even in the dynamic case in an atmosphere with a more or less static density profile.

Later as the ocean warms to remove the leftover imbalance, more water vapor is added (which Lewis and Curry don't include in their calculation of ECS thus lowballing it).

In my opinion, these images clearly show that adding more CO2 to the atmosphere is totally insignificant, mainly because the natural variation in water vapor is so much larger than the amount of CO2 added by humans.

You are probably also aware already that water vapor is as much if not more of a so called greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide is and there is a lot of evaporating ocean water on the planet not to mention clouds and high tropical humidity because hot air provides added space in the atmosphere for water vapor gas to become a major component of air.

Lindzens» idea requires reduced cirrus formation in the tropics, which in turn requires a reduction in water vapor in the upper troposphere as heat is added, the idea being that some sort of balance point is quickly reached where more forcing from additional greenhouse gases will cease to have much of an effect.

32 Human Impact on Climate Change The Greenhouse Effect Is a natural warming of both Earth's lower atmosphere and surface Makes life as we know it possible Major Gases: Water Vapor and Carbon Dioxide Humans have added more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere in the past 200 years by burning fossil fuels

If the CO2 only eats red MM's while water vapor eats all colors, once the total number of MM's is gone, adding more of either gas will have no effect.

As I understand AGW, the theory goes that added CO2 combines with an energy photon (ie the greenhouse effect) to warm the world, & heat the air which results in more water vapor which absorbs more photons which results in Man caused warming feedback.

Or put another way, if there is so much water vapor around (3 % vs only 390ppm for CO2), and more GHGs means more warming, why does the GHE stop at 33C instead of continuing until all the water vapor absorbs a photon OR asked another way, who says that all the water vapor caused by the added CO2 will absorb a photon to cause more GHE warming?

Doesn't that then mean that there are no more photons to be absorbed by the added water vapor produced as a result of the added heat from the CO2 associated warming?

As the temperature rises, more water vapor enters the atmosphere and multiplies CO2's greenhouse effect; the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that water vapor may «approximately double the increase in the greenhouse effect due to the added CO2 alone.»

Adding more Co2 will either increase this process slightly (the Walker circulation) or limit water vapor's presence in the upper troposphere by radiational cooling.
