1. Atmospheric Moisture

   Linked via "Latent heat release"

   Hydrological Impact and Meteorological Significance
   Atmospheric moisture is the energy source for nearly all significant weather systems. Latent heat release upon condensation drives storm intensification. For instance, the required energy input to transition one kilogram of water vapor at $20^\circ\text{C}$ to liquid water at $20^\circ\text{C}$ is approximately $2450 \text{ kJ}$, a substant…
