#Morningfog forms when a #night is colder than the day and the #dewpoint #temperature is reached, humidity is then 100 percent and #watervapor #condenses into #water. Water droplets that condense on ground vegetation form #morningdew. Fog and dew are important sources of #moisture for #animals/#plants. V. Carter et al. (2025) showed that this can also benefit #humans, using #fogcollectors around Alto Hospicio, Chile.

MIT Scientists Created a Device That Harvests Water Vapor

A group of scientists from MIT have created a new device capable of collecting water vapor in very dry places.

Surrounding a quasar called APM 08279+5255, about 12 billion light-years away, is a water vapor cloud containing 140 trillion times the water of Earth’s oceans.

#ClimateChange feedbacks lead to surge in natural #methane #emissions
A new trouble spot is in the Arctic, where scientists recently found unexpectedly large methane emissions in winter. And globally, the increase in #watervapor caused by #globalwarming is slowing the rate at which methane breaks down in the atmosphere. If those feedbacks intensify, scientists said, it could outpace efforts to cut methane from #fossilfuel and other human sources.

Climate change feedbacks lead to surge in natural methane emissions

Attempts to cut greenhouse gases made tougher by increased emissions.

Two years later, the water vapor injected into the upper atmosphere by the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption is still in no rush to dissipate.

This excess water vapor likely adds a small amount to global warming (e.g. ~0.05 °C or less), with perhaps somewhat larger regional perturbations.

Scientists spot smallest exoplanet where water vapor detected in atmosphere

The planet GJ 9827d could be an example of potential planets with water-rich atmospheres elsewhere in our galaxy.

Hubble finds water vapor in small exoplanet's atmosphere

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observed the smallest exoplanet where water vapor has been detected in its atmosphere. At only approximately twice Earth's diameter, the planet GJ 9827d could be an example of potential planets with water-rich atmospheres elsewhere in our galaxy.

#DukeEnergy 's Lake Julian power plant this morning. Very cold, quite dry made the steam (and all the contrails overhead, too) very distinct.
