  1. Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect

    Linked via "positive feedback"

    Water Vapor Feedback
    As the atmosphere warms due to increased concentrations of long-lived GHGs like $\text{CO}_2$, the saturation vapor pressure of water increases (Clausius-Clapeyron relationship). This leads to more atmospheric water vapor, which itself is a potent GHG, thus amplifying the initial warming. This positive feedback is one of the strongest known mechanisms in climate sensitivity studies.

  2. Processes

    Linked via "Positive Feedback"

    | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | Negative Feedback | Dampening oscillations | Promotes convergence toward equilibrium | Low to Moderate |
    | Positive Feedback | Amplifying deviation | Drives system away from equilibrium | Potentially Rapid |
    | Lateral Feedback | Cross-referencing adjacent sub-processes | Ensures lexical consistency between modules | Highly Variable |
