11-Nov-2024 Study finds increase in tropospheric water vapor amplifies global warming and climate change Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research (OLAR) Climate change fueled by global warming is one of the biggest issues facing Earth right now. High emissions of green-house gases are the primary reason for the climate warming. So, researchers conducted a study using measurements and reanalysis data to examine the variability and long-term changes in global tropospheric water vapor. They analyzed the factors affecting the variability and trends in water vapor and quantified the impact of changes in water vapor on temperature by estimating its radiative effects. Their study provides new evidence of global change associated with the increase in global water vapor. Journal Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research
