TDLAS based system for water-vapor measurement through varying smoke obscuration. Pre- and post-suppression concentrations comparable except in metal structure. Highest temperature and water-vapor ...

Water vapour’s dominant role in atmospheric heating amplifies its importance in influencing regional climate over the Indo-Gangetic Plains ...

Access to clean water is a huge issue across the globe. Even in areas with water resources, a lack of infrastructure or reliable energy means purifying that water is sometimes extremely difficult.

Water vapour absorbs radiation at many wavelengths, but it absorbs infrared and ultraviolet radiation – which are strongly emitted by the Sun – particularly well. The different energy transitions in ...

Plain old H 2 O: the most abundant and powerful greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. Water vapour accounts for around half the present-day greenhouse effect and without it our planet would ...

With regard to A. Frank Leo's question of why the effects of water vapor have not been considered in the discussion about global warming, I would suggest that it is because the amounts of water vapor ...

Vapor retarders play an important role in controlling water vapor flow and can be a major element in durable building enclosure design. (Note: Although there is some debate in the industry over ...
