  • Energy and Water Cycles in the Climate System

    Edited by Ehrhard Raschke, Daniela Jacob ...
    Series Book 5 - Nato ASI Subseries I
    Water is the most effective agent in the climate system to modulate energy transfer by radiative processes, through its exchanges of latent heat and within cascades of chemical processes. It is the source of all life on earth, and once convective clouds are formed, it enables large vertical transports of momentum, heat and various atmospheric constituents up to levels above the tropical tropopause ...
