So aside from the obvious erogenous parts of the anatomy I just wanted to get an idea of areas we find aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I could’ve put so many more, these just came to mind as they happen to be features which can make my skin tingle from observation alone. I’ll probably do another poll this evening with more options.
MIT engineers have synthesized a #superabsorbent material that can soak up a record amount of #moisture from the air, even in desert-like conditions. #water https://news.mit.edu/2023/salty-gel-could-harvest-water-desert-air-0615

How does #tropical rainfall get partitioned between #land and #ocean? We can measure this partitioning, but that doesn't mean we understand what controls it.
#MPIM_Scientists Luca Schmidt & Cathy Hohenegger built a conceptual #model to investigate just that. They find that the ratio between land and ocean #precipitation is mainly controlled by the efficiency of #moisture transport in the #atmosphere, and less so by land surface processes.

5/34 Another one doesn't get as much attention as some of those do. It's this: your home's air will feel more #comfortable at a given temperature and humidity if it's moving.
When #heating, air movement keeps the air from stratifying, leaving a cold layer near the floor that makes your feet feel like they're freezing.
When cooling, it also does that, but in addition, moving air is better at evaporating #moisture from your #skin, which increases the cooling effect of that #evaporation.

Mind you, the high percentage of #renters (>60% of the residential market) and the right #housing market also leads to slow adoption of other #environmentallyfriendly technologies because landlords have no incentive to invest in better. Most homes are still heated with #oil. To prevent bad #airquality and #moisture build up, you have to vent by opening #windows, meaning loosing the #energy put into heating the home. Mechanical #ventilation with #heat #recuperation is rare.

Why is nobody creating dehumidifier hashtags? How can I search for, or follow, all the important dehumidifier action in the fediverse without hashtags?

It is still unclear how #global #warming might be affecting likelihood for #atmospheric #rivers to hit #California in rapid clusters. A study last year found in nearly 4 out of 5 years between 1981-2019, half or more of all atmospheric rivers that affected the state were part of an atmospheric river “family,” or a rapid parade of storms.
Warmer atmosphere’s increased #capacity for holding #moisture is reason enough for California officials to prepare.

Alright lads she's started taking prog again the #moisture levels here in eightpoint are about to skyrocket
The amount of topsoil moisture rated short to very short is highest in Nebraska and South Dakota at 89% and 88%. The value for the contiguous US is 50%, which is considerably higher than the previous 7 years. This is the last USDA issuance of moisture values for 2022.

#China, #Europe, #US #drought: Is 2022 the driest year recorded?
One measure of drought conditions used by scientists is based on the level of #moisture in the soil as measured by #satellite imagery.
We have compared these dry conditions over the past three months to average conditions since the beginning of this century, to build up a picture of how #extreme recent #weather patterns have been.
