Sentences with phrase «water vapour»
"Water vapor" refers to the gaseous state of water. It is when water molecules are in the form of gas that cannot be seen with naked eyes. Full definition
They claimed a CO2 increase would cause a temperature increase and higher evaporation with more water vapour in the atmosphere.

Thus the amount held in the atmosphere as water vapour varies greatly in just hours and days as result of the prevailing weather in any location.
The change in water vapour content will reinforce the warming from orbital change until cloud increases and sets in the negative feedback.
The pink line is the effect of increasing CO2 with water vapour held constant.
Over the 20th century, based on changes in sea surface temperatures, it is estimated that atmospheric water vapour increased by about 5 % in the atmosphere over the oceans.
Therefore it will cause more evaporation, leading to more water vapour which is also a greenhouse gas.
If this assumption is only slightly wrong, it completely changes the expected response of increasing CO2 because water vapour is such a dominant greenhouse gas.
Positive water vapour feedback in climate models confirmed by satellite observations.
In addition, atmospheric water vapour absorbs a large part of the infrared rays coming from space, which makes data collection difficult — or even impossible — at some wavelengths.
The presence of water vapour reduces the actual lapse rate to about 6.5 C.
The increased warmth allows the atmosphere to hold more water vapour so that total atmospheric density increases and the atmospheric greenhouse effect strengthens.
Strong correlations with SST suggest that total column water vapour has increased by 4 % since 1970.
This will result in roughly twice as much warming than if water vapour remained constant.
He acknowledged uncertainties over climate science, especially over how water vapour and clouds would react to warming.
This is likely to result in increased water vapour transport.
The fact that it was low humidity meant that there was little water vapour in the air to act as a greenhouse gas.
The study showed that while water vapour provides the strongest feedback of the greenhouse gases (GHGs), it is not the cause (forcing) of global climate change.
In the past no tipping point has ever been known to have occurred as a result of runaway warming from extra water vapour so how have we been persuaded to fear it so much?
He says the clumps were probably patches of ice that formed and grew from water vapour freezing onto the leg.
These portable fuel cells run silently and produce only water vapour as exhaust.
Another words how much more additional water vapour is there in the atmosphere now compared to 100 yrs ago?
