Examples
-
Overall, the hurricane expands in size as SSTs increase, the environmental atmospheric moisture increases at close to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation value of about 6% Kâ1 and the surface moisture flux also increases mainly from Clausius-Clapeyron effects and the changes in intensity of the storm.
-
This disproved the prevailing theory of heat at the time that had been developed by Laplace, Poisson, Sadi Carnot, and Clapeyron, i.e., that the heat in the universe is conserved and that heat in a substance is a function of the state of the substance.
-
It leads to greater evaporative losses through Clausius-Clapeyron [exponential with T] plus greater wind-driven evaporation [linear with wind speed].
-
The steam engine stimulated theoretical studies in thermodynamics by Clapeyron, Clausius, Joule, Lord Kelvin, and Gibbs.

- On the other hand, specific humidity climbs in a warmer world (essentially following Clausius-Clapeyron) which forces a strong positive water vapor feedback, predominant in the tropics and higher altitudes.

The Clausius-Clapeyron relation establishes that air can hold more water vapor per unit volume when it warms.
