Atmospheric rivers may influence the heat energy on Earth’s surface in a couple of ways. Firstly, they simply transport the warm air from one region to another.

P otable water is becoming an ever scarcer resource, even though our atmosphere is laden with 38 million-billion gallons of the wet stuff. Tapping it is the tricky part. Aquaria does so using ...

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of water vapour in the lower atmosphere that often lead to intense precipitation, even at the poles. They also transport heat and energy to the Earth’s ...

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow corridors of concentrated water vapor in the atmosphere. When these systems make landfall, they can deliver immense rainfall and snow over a short period.

It reminds me of earlier attempts at harnessing atmospheric heat for energy, such as the one that was essentially a giant inverted-funnel shaped greenhouse with a turbine at the top.

A scientist in Turkey has simulated eight PV-supported hybrid atmospheric water harvesting systems and compared their performances. They were all considered to operate with R1233zd(E), R1234yf ...

Recently, researchers calculated that the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apa spewed a staggering 50 million tons (45 million metric tons) of water vapor into Earth's atmosphere, in addition to ...

As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture. This brings more intense downpours but also accelerates warming – because water vapour is a powerful greenhouse gas.
