What's the Big Deal About Water Vapour?
Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, and its role is crucial in understanding climate dynamics. Let's dive into its impacts and feedbacks in our climate system.
How Water Vapour Contributes to the Greenhouse Effect
Water vapour amplifies the warming initiated by other greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more water vapour, which further enhances the greenhouse effect—a process known as a positive feedback loop.
Why Monitor Water Vapour Levels?
Accurate monitoring and analysis of water vapour concentrations are vital for improving climate models and forecasting weather patterns. With increasing temperatures due to climate change, understanding water vapour dynamics is more important than ever.
