Sentences with phrase «vapor than cold»

First, warm air holds more water vapor than cold air — and the rising air temperatures since the 1970s have caused the atmospheric water vapor content to rise as well.

(A third of summer sea ice in the Arctic is gone, the oceans are 30 percent more acidic, and since warm air holds more water vapor than cold, the atmosphere over the oceans is a shocking five percent wetter, loading the dice for devastating floods.)

Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air does, so the air is more humid than a few years ago.

Warmer air holds more water vapor than colder air, so the amount of water vapor in the lower atmosphere increases as it is warmed by the greenhouse effect.

Warmer air holds more water vapor than colder air, so global warming will make the lower atmosphere wetter.

Not exact matches

While the ECS factors in such «fast» feedback effects as changes in water vapor — water itself is a greenhouse gas, and saturates warm air better than cold — they argued that slow feedbacks, such as changes in ice sheets and vegetation, should also be considered.

The air at the top of the troposphere is colder than the air at the ground because of a. water vapor b. expansion of gas c. light energy d. ozone

Even in cases where it is cold or where SSTs [sea surface temperatures] are cold, or where water vapor is low, they are still warmer / moister than they would have been without the global warming.

The assembly is not airtight enough and vapor tight enough from the inside to work in colder climates — unless the interior relative humidity is kept low during the coldest two months — less than 30 percent in climate zone 5 and less than 20 percent in climate zone 6 and in colder places forgeddaboudit.

When the wall cavity is colder than the brick, and drier than the brick, water vapor will migrate into the cavity by the process of vapor diffusion.

And Mars drier than anyplace on earth - it's a dry, very cold airless desert - and that in it's wetter and warmer areas:) Venus has such a huge atmosphere that it holds about as much water vapor in it's atmosphere that it has somewhere near as much a earth does in it's atmosphere.

This is why gardeners will put water vapor in the air and water liquid on the ground around their garden on a clear cold night — it protects the local area from cooling as fast because water vapor and liquid both 1) cool much slower than dry air due to their massive heat capacity, and 2) cool even slower because they release their massive latent heat, which means that heat energy is released from them without requiring a drop in temperature — once they're in the latent heat release phase, they just keep shedding energy without dropping in temperature any further.

Without GHG's like water vapor and CO2 the surface of the Earth would cool so effectively by IR radiation that the surface would be tens of degrees colder than it's now (how much depends on what the albedo of the cold earth would turn out to be).

Warm air can hold a lot more moisture (water vapor) than colder air.

The outdoor - to - indoor vapor pressure differences in hot - humid climates are typically much greater than the vapor pressure differences in cold climates.

Methane + Carbon + Water Vapor is Abrupt Hot and Cold, Rain and Snow (Until Greenland is Half Melted Away), Sea Level Rising way Faster Than they are Telling US

[99] The atmospheric concentration of vapor is highly variable and depends largely on temperature, from less than 0.01 % in extremely cold regions up to 3 % by mass in saturated air at about 32 °C.
