Direct anthropogenic contributions to the water vapor content of the atmosphere are probably small by comparison to natural processes such as evaporation from ocean surfaces and evapotranspiration from living plants and animals. However, mankind's contribution to the global warming process may indirectly cause a significant increase in water vapor. 4, record 1, English, - water%20vapor%20content%20of%20the%20atmosphere

Un accroissement de la teneur en vapeur d'eau de l'atmosphère n'entraînerait pratiquement aucune modification de l'équilibre radiatif global dans l'infrarouge. En revanche, toute augmentation d'un gaz dont la concentration est loin de la saturation a des conséquences importantes sur le réchauffement de l'atmosphère. 6, record 1, French, - teneur%20en%20vapeur%20d%27eau%20de%20l%27atmosph%C3%A8re

La vapeur d'eau est l'état habituel de l'eau dans l'atmosphère. Souvent le terme «vapeur d'eau» englobe aussi l'eau qu'on peut retrouver sous deux autres états, l'état liquide (gouttelettes) et l'état solides (cristaux). 1, record 1, French, - teneur%20en%20vapeur%20d%27eau%20de%20l%27atmosph%C3%A8re
