As the air over land heats up and moves upwards, it is replaced by cool, moisture-laden breeze from the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Seas.
This air converges, rises and cools and moisture condenses, generating rainfall that can surpass local evaporation.
The sampler design incorporated dilution, cooling and moisture addition to the stack gas inside an inert dilution tunnel to closely simulate near-ambient conditions to promote atmospheric transformation of source particles.
As the hot air rises it cools, losing moisture; it is then transported poleward where it descends, creating the high-pressure area.
Cloud forest, also called montane rainforest, vegetation of tropical mountainous regions in which the rainfall is often heavy and persistent condensation occurs because of cooling of moisture-laden air currents deflected upward by the mountains.
The two tasks go hand in hand — green roofs cool by capturing moisture and evaporating it.
Conversely, deserts may be found elsewhere, as in the lee of mountain ranges, where air is forced to rise, cool, and lose moisture as rain falling on the windward slopes.
A cool system drawing moisture from remnants of former Hurricane Linda will bring rain Tuesday and some relief to firefighters battling destructive fires throughout California.
Since the air is generally rising, it will start to cool and any moisture it's holding will condense into clouds, since it's crossing below the dew point.
In contrast to other methods for defining canyons, such as a uniform buffer created around all streams, our method identifies pockets of lower elevation away from drainages that are important sinks of cool air and moisture.
