TeachMeFinance.com - explain water vapor feedback water vapor feedback The term 'water vapor feedback' as it applies to the area of carbon dioxide can be defined as ' A process in which an increase in the amount of water vapor increases the atmosphere's absorption of longwave radiation, thereby contributing to a warming of the atmosphere. Warming, in turn, may result in increased evaporation and an increase in the initial water vapor anomaly. This feedback, along with carbon dioxide, is responsible for the greenhouse effect and operates virtually continuously in the atmosphere'.
