They expected that rising temperatures would produce more water vapor, leading to more snowfall and more ice.

Climate scientists know that the intensity of extreme precipitation events is on the rise because there's more water vapor in the atmosphere caused by higher global and sea temperatures.

The research, published yesterday in Nature Climate Change, outlines a counterintuitive side effect of climate change: As higher temperatures drive plants and trees into areas now inhospitable to them, their new distribution speeds up temperature rise via natural processes such as releases of heat - trapping water vapor into the air.

As tides raised by Jupiter in Europa's ocean rise and fall, they may cause cracking, additional heating, and even venting of water vapor into the airless sky above Europa's icy surface.

Thousands of studies conducted by researchers around the world have documented changes in surface, atmospheric, and oceanic temperatures; melting glaciers; diminishing snow cover; shrinking sea ice; rising sea levels; ocean acidification; and increasing atmospheric water vapor.

As the temperature rises, water vapor evaporates at a higher rate, raising the water vapor content of the atmosphere, further amplifying the the increased greenhouse effect of the additional carbon dioxide.

This isn't news to top climate scientists around the world (see Hadley Center: «Catastrophic» 5 — 7 °C warming by 2100 on current emissions path) or even to top climate scientists in this country (see US Geological Survey stunner: Sea - level rise in 2100 will likely «substantially exceed» IPCC projections, SW faces «permanent drying») and certainly not to people who follow the scientific literature, like Climate Progress readers (see Study: Water - vapor feedback is «strong and positive,» so we face «warming of several degrees Celsius»).

Water vapor enters the stratosphere mainly as air rises in the tropics.

Thinking Head, 2017, a public commission by the gallery, is a sculpture composed of a hidden device emitting water vapor that slowly rises from the roof of the building, inspired by Alighiero Boetti's last sculpture, My Brain is Smoking, 1993.

However, the Management and Guest Contributors at WUWT accept the basic truth that CO2, water vapor, and other «greenhouse gases» are responsible for an ~ 33ºC boost in mean Earth temperature, that CO2 levels are rising, partly due to our use of fossil fuels, that land use has changed Earth's albedo, and that this human actvity has caused additional warming.

For example, they predicted the expansion of the Hadley cells, the poleward movement of storm tracks, the rising of the tropopause, the rising of the effective radiating altitude, the circulation of aerosols in the atmosphere, the modelling of the transmission of radiation through the atmosphere, the clear sky super greenhouse effect that results from increased water vapor in the tropics, the near constancy of relative humidity, and polar amplification, the cooling of the stratosphere while the troposphere warmed.

So the rising trend in the lower curve is going to represent much more water vapor added to the atmosphere than the declining top curve represents as leaving it.

More water vapor from rising temperatures will further increase the temperature rise.

If the CO2 rise is a carbon cycle feedback, this is still perfectly compatible with its role as a radiative agent and can thus «trigger» the traditional feedbacks that determine sensitivity (like water vapor, lapse rate, etc).

Evaporation rates do indeed seem to be rising (Yu & Weller 2007), and so is tropospheric water vapor (Trenberth et al 2009 at 317).

This argument hinges on the contention that more water vapor means greater density of water droplets in the active rising updraft of the storm clouds.

So as more CO2 gets pumped into the atmosphere the temperature rises, which causes more water to evaporate (as you accurately state), increasing the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere — which heats the atmosphere even more, causing even more water vapor to enter the atmosphere.

Inceasing oxygen (for example form 20.9 to 30 percent) in my opinion would: Increasing scattering and so albedo, lowering temperature Increasing total pressure, broadening of absorption lines, rising temperature Increasing adiabate slope, rising SAT directly but decreasing water vapor, total effect??

16 (DBB) If more water vapor leads to more precipitation then water vapor will act as a negative feedback on rising global temperature.

The rise in long - lived greenhouse gases (decades to centuries) warms the atmosphere and surface, and that increases the average amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

C isothermic level in the pacific appeared to rise from an average of 400 meters to about 100 meters recently; I find myself wondering then how is it that the oceans heat content is dropping, the solar input appears to be consistant, that one of the GEWEX comitties appears to indicate that the atmospheric water vapor seems to be decreasing.

If you just look at amplification of CO2's greenhouse effect by water vapor, the rise in temperature due to CO2 will result in a certain amount of additional water vapor.

By the same token if I look at polar regions with the concentration of frontal changes there seems to be a rapid rise of tropospheric water vapor invading the stratospheric range.

This additional rise in temperature will result in still more water vapor which will raise the temperature still more, but by a smaller amount.

Judith wrote: «The only potentially interesting point is whether the clear sky atmospheric optical depth has remained the same in the face of rising CO2, implying a decrease in water vapor.»

This means that every 2 degree potential rise in temperature of the surface layer causes an 8 fold rise in the amount of water vapor release hence buckets more clouds and massive albedo reflection keeping the temperature from riding.

The only potentially interesting point is whether the clear sky atmospheric optical depth has remained the same in the face of rising CO2, implying a decrease in water vapor.

Again, the contention is that rising CO2 causes water vapor to rain out at such a rate as to make optical thickness of the atmosphere in the IR constant.
