Sentences with phrase «vapor holding capacity»

We found that Colorado River flows decline by about 4 percent per degree F increase, which is roughly the same amount as the increased atmospheric water vapor holding capacity discussed above.

«[T] he CMIP5 [climate model] results instead show an increase in temperature and a much subdued increase in specific humidity, which may be due to GHG - induced warming and subsequent increases in the water vapor holding capacity of the atmosphere, respectively.

Not exact matches

Therefore, the August - Roche - Magnus equation implies that saturation water vapor pressure changes approximately exponentially with temperature under typical atmospheric conditions, and hence the water - holding capacity of the atmosphere increases by about 7 % for every 1 °C rise in temperature.

The capacity of the atmosphere to hold water vapor (saturation specific humidity) increases exponentially with temperature.
