Amazon forest leaves call the rainy season coming soon

Steam escapes from the Amazon forest leaves south of the equator, making the rainy season early.

Dr. Jonathon Wright of Tsinghua University, China, in the study of water vapor evaporation model in the Amazon rainforest, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, said that water evaporates from the forest leaves, making the rainy season begin soon Cosmos, more than usual, reports on July 24.

It is the evapotranspiration of the leaves that creates the beginning of the rainy season.

Over the years, the early rainy season in the Amazon rainforest, which started out abnormally early, confounded scientists. Because a few months after the rainy season started in mid-October, both monsoons often control the onset of the rainy season in newly emerging tropical areas.

According to new research, it is the transpiration of the leaves that creates the beginning of the rainy season. Data on deuterium-containing vapor, heavy hydrogen isotope, were obtained by NASA's TES infrared spectrophotometer, supporting this hypothesis.

In the dry season, steam from leaves in the Amazon rainforest is pushed into the troposphere. Steam accumulates gradually into rain, making the rainy season early. According to the study, the close relationship between rain and rain forests is two-way.

The Amazon rainforest itself produces rain thanks to the steam escaping from the leaves.(Video: YouTube).
