The subtropical regions (e.g. the Mediterranean, North Africa and Central America) experience a drying owing to increased
transport of water vapour out of this area and an expansion of the subtropical high - pressure regions towards the poles [4].
There is also an increasing poleward
transport of water vapour from lower latitudes.
In GCMs, the global mean evaporation changes closely balance the precipitation change, but not locally because of changes in the atmospheric
transport of water vapour.
Not exact matches
The identified atmospheric feedbacks including changes in planetary albedo, in
water vapour distribution and in meridional latent heat
transport are all poorly represented in zonal energy balance model as the one used in [7] whereas they appear to be
of primary importance when focusing on ancient greenhouse climates.
They combined simple energy balance considerations with a physical assumption for the way
water vapour is
transported, and separated the contributions
of surface heating from solar radiation and from increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to obtain the two sensitivities.
Based on chemical
transport model studies, the RF from the increase in stratospheric
water vapour due to oxidation
of CH4 is estimated to be +0.07 [± 0.05] W m — 2, with a low level
of scientific understanding.
The unique nanostructured membrane wall facilitates
water transport in the
vapour state rather than as a liquid state which yields high rejection
of pathogens and some odorous volatile compounds.
«What has the efficiency
of latent heat
transport by
water vapour got to do with calculating the total potential energy or the total kinetic energy in the atmosphere?»
That is, unless you're ignoring «latent
transport» and only tackling the «radiative» aspect
of Miskolczi's paper (which, BTW, may throw up the hysteresis value for «phase changes
of water vapour»).
