Tracing the influence of terrestrial evapotranspiration on atmospheric water vapor and the water vapor greenhouse effect
AGU 2024
atmospheric sciences | 13 december 2024
Marysa M. Lague, Gregory R. Quetin, Kyle Heyblom
Water vapor accounts for roughly 50% of the modern greenhouse effect. The water vapor greenhouse effect is typically thought of as a feedback to force...
