The Role of Water Vapour in Earth’s Energy Flows
- Summarizes the role of water vapour in Earth’s energy flows with particular emphasis on:
- the powerful thermodynamic constraint of the Clausius Clapeyron equation
- dynamical controls on humidity above the boundary layer (or freetroposphere)
- uncertainty in continuum absorption in the relatively transparent ‘‘window’’ regions of the radiative spectrum and
- implications for changes in the atmospheric hydrological cycle
