Water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on temperature. Its saturation level doubles with every 10 掳C increase in temperature. Its concentration also depends on availability of sources such as water surfaces and vegetation. Because of its strong ...

According to the models, as the Earth warms more water evaporates from the ocean, and the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increases. Since water vapor is the main greenhouse gas, this leads to a further increase in the atmospheric temperature. The models assume that changes in tempera...
Since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, this humid atmosphere—perhaps denser than Earth’s present-day atmosphere, but far less dense than the atmosphere that envelops Venus today—would have efficiently trapped heat from the Sun. At first, this would have had little effect on the oceans of ...
Higher concentrations of CO2 lead to increased radiative forcing and so the surface andtropospherictemperature increases. As a result – under constant relative humidity – the amount of water vapor in the troposphere increases. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas and so further increases “radiative forc...
Water vapor is the greenhouse gas that would make the temperature higher. The main reasons for the spatial distribution of water vapor are correlated with the hydrological cycle and water vapor sources that are discussed in section 4.2. Discussion The results above reveal that the oasis promotes ...
an increase in moisture availability will result in more rainfall. Higher water vapor promotes vertical convection by affecting the static stability of the atmosphere44,45,46. Finally, water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas, and hence, leads to strong positive feedback on surface temperature. Eve...

Abstract: Water vapor in the atmosphere is of major importance due to its greenhouse effect and its influence on weather prediction that is strongly related to all human activities (agricultural, industrial etc). The accurate estimate of this important gas along with aerosols, clouds and other ...
absorptionportion of the water vapor absorption. This is the frequency range between 800-1200 cm-1, (wavelength range 12-8μm) – often known as the “atmospheric window”. This portion of the spectral range is important in studies of increasing water vapor, something we will return to in ...
