...which this newly-discovered property of aqueous vapors must exert on the phenomena of meteorology. It has been said that, compared atom for atom, the absorption of an atom of aqueous vapor is 16,000 times that of air. Now the power to absorb and the power to radiate are perfectly reciprocal... | |

The sun raises the vapours of the equatorial ocean ; they rise, but for a time a vapour screen spreads above and around them. But the higher they rise, the more they come into the presence of pure space, and when, by their levity, they have penetrated...
