A study published this year by Bradley Udall, senior
water and climate research scientist with the Colorado Water Institute at Colorado State University, and Jonathan Overpeck, professor of hydrology and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona, found that during the drought years of 2000 - 2014, the river surrendered a third of its flow because of higher temperatures in the upper b

upper basin.
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.
The second observation relates to the apparent difference in the wet / dry adiabatic altitude at temperatures in the range of -30 Deg C. Apparently, the British Arctic Survey Team operating out of Northern Canada in 2006 seemed to suggest that the formation of ice / snow in the
upper atmospheric region of around 250mb seems to be remaining as super cooled
water drops.
Take a look at the latest data in regards to the
atmospheric water vapor in the vacinity of
upper atmospheric Cirrus clouds that was published today.
For more than 10 years (I forgot how much more),
upper tropospheric
water vapor has not increased in response to significant increases in CO2
atmospheric concentrations.
Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the
water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of
upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a change in surface or
atmospheric conditions and the change in cloud radiative properties associated with a change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between surface air temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of sea ice thickness.
The average
atmospheric water vapour content has increased since at least the 1980s over land and ocean as well as in the
upper troposphere.
But back then, it was concluded that Arrhenius was wrong and Ångström moved onto other research, despite Arrhenius publishing a paper critical of the experiments and explaining how in the dry
upper atmospheric layers, the role of
water vapour was of limited importance.
