Protect against moisture and sunlight.

The ceiling turned black from moisture.

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.

If your windows are not airtight, moisture will seep in.

Yes, it is. There's a lot of moisture in the air.

The moisture of the rain, shattered into minute drops, filled the air.

Its oceans evaporated and its water vapor was burned away by ultraviolet light.

These channels were selected to measure temperature, pressure, water vapor and dust levels.

This is even true globally over the past half century, as one of the most recent scientific studies of actual soil moisture shows there is an overall small wetting trend in global soil moisture.

When I took this picture, the window was frozen because of the moisture of the night.

This augments the natural process, where sea salt from the oceans provides water vapor with the cloud condensation nuclei.

Then, tropical moisture interacting with the approaching trough will create widespread heavy rainfall in the Southwest over the coming days.

If the boundaries between nuclear haves and have nots becomes more permeable, or even dissolves altogether, the entire multilateral security system could be called into question.

Condensing water vapor, most or all of which came from ice delivered by comets, produced the oceans and other water sources.

Do not use this product near a bathtub, sink, shower, swimming pool, or anywhere else where water or moisture are present.

In summer, the state, especially southern and eastern Utah, lies in the path of monsoon moisture from the Gulf of California.

For most of the year, the region is covered by masses of cold Arctic air with low moisture and dust content.

Once programmed, an EPROM can be erased by exposing it to strong ultraviolet light source (such as from a mercury vapor light).

Because the outer membrane is freely permeable to small molecules, the concentrations of small molecules such as ions and sugars in the intermembrane space is the same as the cytosol.

His face now wore a tender expression, and she thought she detected in his voice the sound of tears, and their moisture on her hand.

Deep tropical moisture will cause rainfall rates to approach 2 to 3 inches per hour in spots, especially in parts of southern Nevada and Arizona.

It is where one arrives after leaving behind a world of asphalt and concrete to surround oneself in a world of dirt, dust, and moisture.

As for the air, there is always some moisture in the atmosphere, but when the amount increases a great deal, it affects the light waves.

Rust is an iron oxide, usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture.

For hygienic reasons related to fabric's capacity to absorb moisture, the regulation bans the import of synthetic underwear that does not contain at least 6 cotton.

Extreme rainfall events will also become more frequent and intense in a warmer climate, owing to another simple fact of physics warm air can hold more moisture.

The climate is also subject to the rate of water vapor exchange between the atmosphere and Earth's surface, which requires taking into account ocean currents, wind, and geography.

Sheila Patek And so if we just take that one frame, what you can actually see there at the end of that yellow arrow is a vapor bubble.

This might work, but the first wall of the blanket will need to be not only leak proof and porous, but also sufficiently permeable to neutrons, which have to hit the lithium atoms beyond it.

In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseous state, water vapor or steam.

It's trying to walk on the coarse terrain, sandy area, but depending on the moisture content or the grain size of the sand the foot's soil sinkage model changes.

Had it not been for the light quivering of her lips and the moisture that made her eyes brighter, her smile would have appeared almost calm when she said

He also thought about the birches in the depths of the valley where, according to him, at a depth of several meters beneath the surface some moisture was hidden.

Heatwaves and droughts on one hand, directly from the warming, but also, because a warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor with its latent energy, rainfall will become in more extreme events.

On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6 of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001 in the air as vapor, clouds, and precipitation.

And more importantly, that line between good and evil which privileged people like to think is fixed and impermeable, with them on the good side, and the others on the bad side I knew that line was movable, and it was permeable.

Certain substances in the atmosphere, chiefly cloud droplets and water vapor, but also carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, and chlorofluorocarbons, absorb this infrared, and re radiate it in all directions including back to Earth.

The major greenhouse gases are water vapor, which causes about 36 70 of the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide (CO2), which causes 9 26 methane (CH4), which causes 4 9 and ozone (O3), which causes 3 7 .

Since 1900 the global temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and ocean surface waters has risen by 0.5 1 degree Celsius, and the prime suspect is atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2, which is second only to water vapor in its greenhouse effect.

Students at the University of Guelph demonstrated, using scale models, that as air passes over the top of the new hotels it causes a breeze to roll down the south sides of the buildings and spill into the gorge below the falls, where it feeds into a whirlpool of moisture and air.

For example, aside from solar magnetic activity, the Sun affects the Earth's climate in several other ways, including ultraviolet warming of the upper stratosphere, the nucleation of aerosols, and cloud formation. The climate is also subject to the rate of water vapor exchange between the atmosphere and Earth's surface, which requires taking into account ocean currents, wind, and geography.

Circumstantial evidence does indeed point to our profligate burning of fossil fuels and perhaps also to its impact on global warming. Since 1900 the global temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and ocean surface waters has risen by 0.5 1 degree Celsius, and the prime suspect is atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2, which is second only to water vapor in its greenhouse effect.

All of these contributing effects must be understood quantitatively in order to produce an accurate model of global climate change and we remain far from that point. So the only rational response is to research aggressively into the many unknown factors the physics of cloud formation, the dynamic coupling of the upper stratosphere to the lower atmosphere, the accumulation of atmospheric water vapor.

The consequences of this would be devastating inland areas desiccated, low lying coastal regions battered and flooded as polar ice melts and sea levels rise, and possibly further warming and a runaway greenhouse effect due to an increase in atmospheric water vapor. The only rational course of action would seem to be to curtail global consumption of fossil fuels, as the Kyoto Treaty's proponents contend, and invest in alternative energy sources.
