Sentences with phrase «water vapour transport»

Warmer temperatures can directly increase evaporation rates, and also affect the water vapour transport within soils themselves, further adding to the evaporative demand.

However perhaps warmer soils also change water vapour transport which is not reflected in evaporimeters.

He focuses at the regional (or watershed) scale and studies processes including river flow, evaporation / transpiration, water vapour transport and precipitation.

This is likely to result in increased water vapour transport.

Not exact matches

Or increased water content (so that energy is more efficiently transported by ferrying vapour up to condense, release the energy and rain out).

In GCMs, the global mean evaporation changes closely balance the precipitation change, but not locally because of changes in the atmospheric transport of water vapour.

Finally, you mention water vapour as a GHG... but water vapour is the main cooling component in the atmosphere, transporting heat from the surface to the radiative layer, so not really a true GHG.

An important one is additional poleward energy transport, but contributions from local high - latitude water vapour, cloud and temperature feedbacks have also been found.

The identified atmospheric feedbacks including changes in planetary albedo, in water vapour distribution and in meridional latent heat transport are all poorly represented in zonal energy balance model as the one used in [7] whereas they appear to be of primary importance when focusing on ancient greenhouse climates.

They combined simple energy balance considerations with a physical assumption for the way water vapour is transported, and separated the contributions of surface heating from solar radiation and from increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to obtain the two sensitivities.

Based on chemical transport model studies, the RF from the increase in stratospheric water vapour due to oxidation of CH4 is estimated to be +0.07 [± 0.05] W m — 2, with a low level of scientific understanding.

The unique nanostructured membrane wall facilitates water transport in the vapour state rather than as a liquid state which yields high rejection of pathogens and some odorous volatile compounds.

«What has the efficiency of latent heat transport by water vapour got to do with calculating the total potential energy or the total kinetic energy in the atmosphere?»

That is, unless you're ignoring «latent transport» and only tackling the «radiative» aspect of Miskolczi's paper (which, BTW, may throw up the hysteresis value for «phase changes of water vapour»).

There is also an increasing poleward transport of water vapour from lower latitudes.

The subtropical regions (e.g. the Mediterranean, North Africa and Central America) experience a drying owing to increased transport of water vapour out of this area and an expansion of the subtropical high - pressure regions towards the poles [4].
