Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas and the most powerful one. It can amplify the warming effect of other greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, by trapping more heat in the atmosphere. This means that as the planet gets hotter, more water evaporates, creating a vicious cycle of warming and water vapour. #WaterVapour #GreenhouseGas #ClimateChange

How rising water vapour in the atmosphere fuels climate change

Water vapour - the 'other greenhouse gas' - is increasing in the atmosphere due to global warming and raising the risk of floods and droughts.

Cool dataset of #WaterVapour on #Copernicus #CDS shared by @OceanTerra but what really strikes me is the position of #GNSS obs - so many in Europe and so sparse everywhere else (just like many other measurements).
