Oinas et al also show that stratospheric dynamics make their contribution in the polar vortex regions to produce local warming in the 1 mb region for the uniformly applied increase in stratospheric water vapor.

To start with, water vapor pressure is greater at higher temps than lower (supralinearly), with a 2C increase producing a greater increase at 20C than 10C.

On the other hand, decreasing stratospheric ozone (above 25 km), increasing stratospheric water vapor, and increasing atmospheric CO2 uniformly with height) will produce global surface and tropospheric warming along with stratospheric cooling.

Data from satellite observations «suggest that greenhouse models ignore negative feedback produced by clouds and by water vapor, that diminish the warming effects» of human carbon dioxide emissions.

Thus there is convection within the troposphere that (to a first approximation) tends to sustain some lapse rate profile within the layer — that itself can vary as a function of climate (and height, location, time), but given any relative temperature distribution within the layer (including horizontal and temporal variations and relationship to variable CSD contributors (water vapor, clouds)-RRB-, the temperature of the whole layer must shift to balance radiative fluxes into and out of the layer (in the global time averae, and in the approximation of zero global time average convection above the troposphere), producing a PRt2 (in the global time average) equal to RFt2.

Btu per cubic foot: The total heating value, expressed in Btu, produced by the combustion, at constant pressure, of the amount of the gas that would occupy a volume of 1 cubic foot at a temperature of 60 degrees F if saturated with water vapor and under a pressure equivalent to that of 30 inches of mercury at 32 degrees F and under standard gravitational force (980.665 cm.

The supposed water vapor amplification mechanism will simply accelerate the water cycle slightly and produce little actual temperature rise, certainly less than the 1 C rise touted as a no - feedback case.

The lack of» water vapor» is, because: it was more water in Arctic ocean without ice cover as» insulation» - > water absorbed extra coldness and the currents brought extra coldness in North Atlantic = above the ocean is colder = less evaporation - > less water vapor produced - > less moisture going west from central Atlantic.

Trenberth notes that global warming has already increased the average amount of water vapor in the atmosphere by about 4 %, «extra moisture flowing into the storms that produced the heavy rains and likely contributed to the strength of the storms through added energy.»

It only becomes significant in the models by assuming that water vapor concentration increases in response to the slight warming produced by CO2 increases and therefore constitutes a powerful positive feedback effect which triples the effect of CO2 by itself.

During this two - week transition period, any water vapor excess (or deficit) relative to the equilibrium distribution did of course produce a radiative greenhouse heating (or cooling) effect, but this «virtual forcing» was very transient in nature, without any lasting impact on the global temperature.
