Sentences with phrase «to increase water vapor»

The way I think about is that for precipitation there is a shift in distribution caused by increased water vapor.

The assumptions of increasing water vapor content from increased air temperature over water is not generally valid.

This is because climate models only include short - term feedbacks, such as increased water vapor and melting of sea ice.

In the case of water vapor, it is referred to as «negative lapse rate feedback» and demonstrates a net negative feedback cooling effect from increased water vapor.

Doesn't increased water vapor in the atmosphere buffer against warming?

The model indicates that increased water vapor accounts for about 40 % of the ozone loss in the upper stratosphere, and about 20 % of the overall loss to date.

He also conveniently ignores positive feedbacks (e.g. increased water vapor) and most of the actual physics of climate change.

Of course increasing water vapor in the atmosphere (the major greenhouse gas) would be a positive feedback leading to more heating but apparently this is not the dominant effect.

This further increases the water vapor in the atmosphere - the main culprit of greenhouse gases.

Again, the model is better able to reproduce these values when increased water vapor is included.

It increases temperature only a little bit, but the higher temperature also increases water vapor, which in turn increases temperature even more (along with other factors).

Increased water vapor in the stratosphere makes it warmer on the ground by trapping heat, while the ozone loss makes it colder on the ground.

goodsprk: It relies on not simply CO2, but on feedback from increased CO2 raising the temperature which increases the water vapor in the atmosphere which the alarmist assume will actually breaking up the low level clouds and forming high level cirrus clouds that will trap more heat.

Current state - of - the - art climate models predict that increasing water vapor concentrations in warmer air will amplify the greenhouse effect created by anthropogenic greenhouse gases while maintaining nearly constant relative humidity.

It was measured (Philipona et al) and found to be predominantly tracking increased water vapor.

That's very close to the Arctic and will contribute to rapid melt, along with increased water vapor again.

Global warming pessimists accept that CO2 - induced warmer temperatures will cause a positive feedback via increased water vapor in the air.

A simple example, increased water vapor [a GHG], leading to much more clouds and greater albedo means that more energy will be reflected to space meaning that the effective heat source drops in intensity hence the temperature must fall back or as Lucia would put it, fails to go up any more [She does not believe feedbacks can be ultimately negative].

It relies on not simply CO2, but on feedback from increased CO2 raising the temperature which increases the water vapor in the atmosphere which the alarmist assume will actually breaking up the low level clouds and forming high level cirrus clouds that will trap more heat.

It's also pretty likely that the El Nino will bring some very damaging weather at various points, which will serve to remind us that flooding is something to respect and yes, fear, whether it's driven by El Nino or by increasing water vapor content due to global warming.

In weather systems, convergence of increased water vapor leads to more intense precipitation and the risk of heavy rain and snow events, but may also lead to reductions in duration and / or frequency of rain events, given that total amounts do not change much.
