The mountainous terrain amplifies the upward flow of cyclone winds and thus intensifying how much, and how fast, water vapor gets turned into rain.

The warm, open water gives off a great deal of water vapor by evaporation; the moisture is swept south and overland by the winds where it cools off and falls as rain or snow.

So while the monsoon winds might weaken the precipitation nonetheless increases (more bang for the buck) as a weaker circulation carries more water vapor (and latent energy).

These coupled with the increased intrusion of the tropopause into the stratosphere appears to cause a change in the saturated adiabatic proccess and allows a greater updraft resulting in an increase in the fall distance of the condensensing water vapor resulting in high average winds and lower eye pressures.

As the water vapor condenses it provides energy, liquid water and pressure gradients (wind).

Springer, Dr. Roy just posted some data on winds, water Clouds), water vapor and rain for the oceans since 1987.

Trade winds transport some of this water vapor out of the Atlantic Ocean basin, across the Isthmus of Panama, and into the Pacific Ocean basin.

These algorithms, developed for national and international operational and research satellite programs, convert sensor / instrument measurements into geophysical parameters such as vertical temperature / water vapor profiles, estimates of cloud amount, type and phase, and land / ocean parameters such as sea surface winds, net heat flux, and forest fire intensity / extent.

The Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM / I) radiometers provide brightness temperatures at three different frequencies (19.35, 37.0 and 85.5 GHz) from which are estimated: wind speed when not raining, integrated atmospheric water vapor content, liquid water content, and a rain index.

«The extra water vapor fuels the monsoon and thus alters the winds and the monsoon itself and so this likely increases the rainfall further,» he said.

There is a hydrodynamics module for computing winds and for transporting water vapor horizontally and vertically.

I have compared it to water vapor levels, OLR, precipitation, rotation of the Earth, SOI, Pacific subsurface temperatures, Trade Winds, cloud patterns, precipitation, atmospheric angular momentum, the AMO, tropical / global temperatures, and the spatial distribution of those temperature changes.

I looked at it as potential and it does tend to provide the right range of wind velocity though when water vapor actually decides to condense and precipitate is a bit iffy.

Remember that the abstract states:, «The water vapor delivered to the atmosphere via evaporation represents a store of potential energy available to accelerate air and thus drive winds.

I have too much respect for Allison to get into a spitting match with him over something that there is simply too little data to positively determine, too much corruption and money involved for those who support that mankind can affect and control global weather to any significant amount all while ignoring so many other factors such as solar winds, Sun spot activity and even the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which is never a part of any of the seriously flawed climate models.

(The air next to the ocean surface is saturated with water vapor and the wind speeds up the rate at which diffusion and convection can move this water vapor elsewhere in the atmosphere.)

In my opinion this is highly relevant research, and Louise offers practical solutions for exterior wind wash barriers, water separation planes, air barriers, vapor retarders and insulation — all with research data to back it up.

Winding my way through the work that has been done on water vapor, I did post some results from Sun & Oort — Clouds and Water Vapor — Part Twater vapor, I did post some results from Sun & Oort — Clouds and Water Vapor — Part Tvapor, I did post some results from Sun & Oort — Clouds and Water Vapor — Part TWater Vapor — Part TVapor — Part Three.

water vapor concentration varies significantly vertically through the atmosphere and geographically (due to local vaporization, condensation, convection and lateral winds)

Areas receiving modest cuts or level funding in the Energy Department's FY17 budget included solar and wind energy programs aimed at expanding renewable power and lowering costs for these clean energy technologies; work to advance hydrogen and fuel cellElectrochemical device in which electricity is generated by chemically reacting hydrogen with oxygen; electricity, water vapor, and heat are the only products.

This causes more wave action which mixes colder water in from deep sea, this will cause less evaporation) 4) Negatively: more % water vapor in the atmosphere 5) Positively: evaporation itself causes more evaporation (difference in pressure causes wind and wind and heat together causes more evaporation)

For a time the excessive water vapor in the atmosphere would have given it an uber - greenhouse effect but slowly but surely it was electrolized by energetic radiation and blown off by solar wind — never to return.

To some extent; however, the pressure dfferentals are more likely related to the movement of water vapor and not necessarily wind speeds, though your view is an interesting point of view I had not considered.

For example, the root system of forest trees facilitates both storage and extraction of moisture from soil; biogenic aerosols produced by trees control the intensity of water vapor condensation over the forest; the large height of trees determines the vertical temperature gradient under the canopy, keeping soil evaporation under biotic control; tall trees are also essential for surface friction that does not allow extremely high wind velocities to develop.
