Atmosphere as a steam engine
Anastassia Makarieva, Andrei Nefiodov
Earth's atmosphere operates a steam cycle in which water vapor evaporates from the surface, expands, condenses, and returns as precipitation. The Clausius-Clapeyron law relates the…
On the Methodology for Assessing Vegetation Impacts on the Atmospheric Branch of the Hydrological Cycle
A. M. Makarieva, A. V. Nefiodov, A. D. Nobre +3
China has undertaken unprecedented, state-driven vegetation restoration on a continental scale. This large-scale land-surface intervention offers a rare opportunity to assess how d…
Seeing Forests Through Clouds: Comment on "Recent global temperature surge amplified by record-low planetary albedo" (arXiv:2405.19986)
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov, Antonio D. Nobre +10
Goessling et al. (1) link the record-breaking warming anomaly of 2023 to a global albedo decline due to reduced low-level cloud cover. What caused the reduction remains unclear. Go…
On the possible role of condensation-related hydrostatic pressure adjustments in intensification and weakening of tropical cyclones
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov
It is shown that condensation and precipitation do not disturb the hydrostatic equilibrium if the local pressure sink (condensation rate expressed in pressure units) is proportiona…
Condensation mass sink and intensification of tropical storms
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov
Intensification of tropical storms measured as the central pressure tendency represents a subtle imbalance, of the order of , between the inflow and outflow of air in the…
Re-appraisal of the global climatic role of natural forests for improved climate projections and policies
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov, Anja Rammig +1
Along with the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the loss of primary forests and other natural ecosystems is a major disruption of the Earth system causing global concern…
