 Food Science for the inquisitive…
i. Food Dehydration teaches us about climate change?!?

 Not to be a downer: but I stumbled across a scientific factor that affects  climate change (while I was working on water-activity and dehydration of my foods.) I think this concept is important, so I want to share it with you!

I am intrigued that food dehydrates so well and more rapidly at increasingly higher temperatures. And food not only dries faster, as in the "velocity" of dehydration, but accelerates in an increasing rate of dehydration.

Aside: Without digging into the science of CO2’s greenhouse gas effect, nor the effect of water vapor as a greenhouse gas, I'm just focusing on WATER VAPOR and AIR TEMPERATURE as these gases relate to FLOODS.

 

What I don’t hear anyone mentioning (or at least emphasizing) is that hotter air holds more way moisture, and air's ability told hold water vapor is not a linear increase with temperature. The water vapor increase is exponential!

And then, when that hotter air cools back down, way more moisture comes out as precipitation.

 

As you see in the above line, above 75F the line gets very steep!
The moisture holding capacity of air at 100oF is 10 times the moisture holding capacity of air at 30oF (~ 0 oC): (so a 10x increase in water vapor potential with a 3.3x increase in temperature.)

As you can see from the above chart: on a typical summer day with 83F: the air can hold up to 1.5 lbs of water.

On a 90F day: air can hold 2.1 lbs. Net increase 0.6 lbs more water in the same volume of air.

(per 100 cu ft dry air)

32F Air: Holds just 0.3 lbs water

50F air holds: 0.6 lbs

60F air holds: 0.8 lbs

70F air holds: 1.15 lbs

83F air holds: 1.5 lbs

90F air holds: 2.1 lbs

100F air holds: 2.9 lbs

104F air holds: 3.2 lbs

122F air holds: 5.2 lbs water!

Above 75F, (acceleration of) water capacity in air gets very steep!

 

And when there's a big temperature drop or swing from hot air to cold air, there can be a lot of precipitation!
