Where do winds come from? A new theory on how water vapor condensation influences atmospheric pressure and dynamics

Phase transitions of atmospheric water play a ubiquitous role in the Earth's climate system, but their direct impact on atmospheric dynamics has escaped wide attention. Here we examine and advance a theory as to how condensation influences atmospheric pressure through the mass removal of wa...
