Biotic Pump : Anastasia Makarieva Interview

The biotic pump is the idea that forests evapotranspire water that then condenses into coulds. When it condenses it creates a pressure vacuum that then sucks wind carrying water vapor in.
Time stamps:
15:50 cyclones
25 problem with traditional meteorological explanation of vortex/loop
26 How Makerieva came up with the idea of biotic pump
42:30 which effect dominates : latent heat or vapor condensing
The latent heat does not help the whole atmospheric circulation loop to gain energy.
50:10 latent heat considered inefficient by meteorologists so they did not use it for forests.
52:45 Difference between lakes and forests. Forests can time when they release water vapor to initiate atmospheric circulation.
1:07:45 Disturbance of landscape and water cycle leads to fires.
1:09:20 storms are cultivated by water cycle. Climate scientist Millan Millan.
1:13 critiques of biotic pump - condensation of water vapor leads to diffusion rather than upward velocity of water.
1:25 critique of experiment on biotic pump, and what possible experiments to do.
1:31 bernard cell convection cell as causing convection, a mechanism that doesnt involve biotic pump.
1:32:10 calculating the power of convection with biotic pump

It very interesting! Thank you Alpha Lo and thank you Anastasia for explaining again all the mechanisms. In France, following your studies, we are trying to show, with mapped weather datas, that biotic pump works also on much smaller scales and also that it still continue to work further if you have continuous territories with permanent photosynthesis (without tilled fields) like a mix of small forests, woods, regenerative agriculture zones, permanent prairies, wooded countryside etc... The first results shows that on such lands we have at least 300 mm /year more precipitation compared to neighbor areas with conventional agricultural practices wich are now suffering permanent rain deficits. Same conclusion for average ground temperatures : -5°C versus the intensely cultivated areas that are quite hotter (and dryer). The first idea could be that if we maintain sufficient natural forests along the ocean to start the biotic pump, we should maintain behind (under the wind) at least a mix of permanent photosynthesis combination to not interrupt the biotic pump and to obtain a rain corridor that go further and further inside the land. In case we interrupt this permanent green combination of landscapes with large tilling zone and conventional agricultural pratices with nude soils on hundred of kilometers it will probably stop the biotic pump process.

How large are the areas of land you are looking at?

[@steve-adams]

Have you made progress on this?

[@44point5]

What a mind.

Anyone who doubts females mental capacities or girls in STEM education needs to watch this..... hat's off to depth of science discussed here - and all communicated in English. Wowza!
