Another interesting post showing the moving water patterns in the atmosphere.
Watts Up With That?

Excerpt:
I see in a most recent post here at WUWT that UC Irvine researchers have used “27 state-of-the-art climate models” to predict what will happen by the year 2100 to the “tropical rain belt”. They describe this as “a narrow band of heavy precipitation near the equator”.
By coincidence, I’d just downloaded the ECMWF reanalysis results for what is called the “TPW”, the total precipitable water vapor in the atmosphere. This is how many kilos of water there are in the column of air above each square metre of surface. The results cover 1979 to mid 2019.
So to start with, here’s the long-term average of the precipitable water in the atmosphere.
