Feedback Mechanisms Explained
The water vapor feedback effect is a significant positive contributor to climate change, with a magnitude of about two watts per meter squared per kelvin. In contrast, the lapse rate feedback, which describes how temperature decreases with altitude, acts as a negative feedback mechanism, potentially reducing the greenhouse effect by about -0.5 watts per meter squared per kelvin. Understanding these interactions is crucial for accurate climate modeling.In this clip
