Climate science

a self-amplifying monsoon mechanism in which latent heat from rainfall drives circulation that imports more moisture, creating a threshold for abrupt monsoon failure.

In climate science, moisture-advection feedback refers to a self-amplifying monsoon mechanism in which latent heat from rainfall drives circulation that imports more moisture, creating a threshold for abrupt monsoon failure. This meaning comes from Levermann (2009) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
