Sentences with phrase «vapour near the surface»

Consequently, the reduction in water vapour in the upper atmosphere offsets both the increase in CO2 and the increase in water vapour near the surface.

Not exact matches

The NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered water vapour erupting from the frigid surface of Jupiter's moon Europa, in one or more localised plumes near its south pole.

[41] The water vapour content of the air between the top of the air and the altitude of pressure P (atm) is decreasing roughly like P4.5 [42]: hence 80 % of the total water vapour is between P = 1 and P = 0.75 near 2.3 km, and the total water content of the air closely follows the surface temperature.

Water vapour content is largely a function of temperature, particularly ocean surface and near - surface temperature.

That increases the CO2 levels near the sea surface (but that is readlily dispersed by convection, as good as the water vapour).

However, in the deep tropics, where the theoretical effects on the surface energy budget of temperature - driven changes in evaporation and water vapour are particularly strong, there is a near quarter century record of both SST and tas from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean array of fixed buoys in the Pacific ocean.

Clouds and precipitation are affected through modifications of the temperature and water vapour content of near - surface air.
