Sentences with phrase «with less water vapor»

They found that lead «supercharges» the clouds, causing them to form at higher temperatures and with less water vapor.

Not exact matches

The warming due to water vapor helps the air hold water, but in the Earth's orbit, it is not actually sufficient to keep the air warm enough to keep the water it already has — so you go into the death spiral, with a bit of cooling, less water, then more cooling, and so on to Snowball.

Between a two foot high greenhouse filled with atmosphere and a two foot high greenhouse filled with carbon dioxide there would be less than a thirtyieth of a degree difference — provided you had water at the bottom of the greenhouse to provide vapor feedback.

Simple physics dictates that with less sea ice there is magnified warming of the Arctic due to powerful albedo feedback; this in turn reduces the equator to pole temperature gradient which slows the jet stream winds causing them to become more meridional; this combined with 4 % more water vapor in the atmosphere (compared to 3 decades ago) is leading to much more extremes in weather.

Now adding back the CO2 will have a larger magnitude of forcing than the initial removal because there is much less water vapor, and the water vapor feedback in terms of W / m2 will be smaller in magnitude because of the overlap with CO2.

Arrhenius spent a number of years trying to overcome this little obstacle before finally saying that the impact of CO2 was considerable less than his first estimate and mentioning 1.6 (2.1) with water vapor was more likely.

The water vapor cooled the Earth, the snow cooled the atmosphere with resulting increase in surface albedo which does reflect radiative heat, meaning the Earth gets less warm, not colder because of it.

Less water vapor is associated with heat waves not more, so the greenhouse effect is lessened.

``... the water vapor is in equilibrium with the ocean temperature that has risen less than the global temperature, so its response relative to the global temperature may be less than 7 % per degree, while it is 7 % per degree for the ocean.»

You can then add in water vapor and so on with my complete blessing, as long as you do not assert that gravity can do any net, continuous work even in the dynamic case in an atmosphere with a more or less static density profile.

Ragnaar, the water vapor is in equilibrium with the ocean temperature that has risen less than the global temperature, so its response relative to the global temperature may be less than 7 % per degree, while it is 7 % per degree for the ocean.

dude I don't think the observed reduction in relative humidity with rising temperature implies a negative water vapor feedback, just a less strongly positive water vapor feedback than has been otherwise postulated.

Water vapor content has little do with whether a region or hemisphere will have more or less snow.

Supercritical stations burn less coal per megawatt - hour produced and so benefit the environment and the electricity consumer.A modern, highly efficient, supercritical coal - fired station with stack gas cleanup is very clean indeed, essentially emitting only water vapor, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Here, it is water vapor that is replaced by an inferior heat - trapping gas, creating an atmosphere with less «greenhouse» effect.

Given two almost identical parcels of air at the same temperature and pressure, the one with more water vapor will be less dense.

Water vapor is speculated to correspond with «less cloudiness», but that's about it.

However, a warmer atmosphere means less cloudiness even with more water vapor and then there are seasonal effects.

Although hydrogen generates about 62,000 Btu per pound, it accounts for only 5 percent or less of coal and not all of this is available for heat because part of the hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water vapor.

With scrubbers in place, less dust, vapor, and gases will go through the baghouse filter and up the stacks; but they will create sulfurous acids, suspended fines, and a precipitate in the scrubber water.
