Sentences with phrase «precipitation levels also»

Precipitation levels also were found to be several times higher than today.

Not exact matches

The researchers also found that a substantial amount of genetic variation among individual warblers is associated with the different precipitation levels of their respective environments.

Uncertainty about rain, little uncertainty about sea level rise Climate change could also affect precipitation in California, though the two models USGS used in its research produced different results.

Indeed, conventional wisdom held that higher levels of aerosol pollution in the atmosphere should cool the earth's climate because aerosols can increase cloudiness; they not only reduce precipitation, which raises the water content in clouds, but they also increase the size of the individual water droplets, which in turn causes more warming sunlight to be reflected back into space.

His team also ran the models with predicted precipitation changes and arrived at similar conclusions, even though moisture levels can prompt more nuanced responses across species.

Since the evapotranspiration rates of the study's cropping systems held steady across several years of varying precipitation levels, the study also suggests that crop evapotranspiration rates may not be as sensitive to climate change as is currently assumed.

Heat waves, extreme precipitation events and flooding or extreme droughts, are also what actually cause climate damage — for instance lower agricultural productivity (as during the extremely hot 2003 summer in Western Europe) or biodiversity decline at ecosystem levels ranging from aquatic desert systems to entire rainforest biomes.

Deforestation also contributes to decreased evapotranspiration, which lessens atmospheric moisture and precipitation levels.

This airmass is also expected to be incredibly warm for a California precipitation event; freezing levels could be as high as 10,000 feet or even higher during the initial part of the storm, with rain (instead of snow) expected at even very high mountain locations.

Both also depend on aging infrastructure that has already been stressed by climate hazards including heat waves, as well as coastal and riverine flooding due to a combination of sea level rise, storm surge, and extreme precipitation events.

Global warming leads to rising temperatures of the oceans and the earth» surface causing melting of polar ice caps, rise in sea levels and also unnatural patterns of precipitation such as flash floods, excessive snow or desertification.

Precipitation levels determine not only how much water we have to drink but also the performance of entire economic sectors, from agriculture to recreation to tourism.

We can also think about hydrological drought, or how decreased precipitation affects streamflow, soil moisture, reservoir and lake levels, and groundwater recharge.

The pressure levels depend also on the amount of falling precipitation.

We know these clouds are related to low - level stability, but they also are affected by shallow convection, precipitation processes, and changes in the capping inversion height.

Monthly temperature, precipitation, 500hPa geopotential height, mean sea - level pressure and soil moisture over the entire globe are also output to assess larger scale weather systems.

The orb also displays real - time local water reserve levels and precipitation forecasts so that users can see their water use in context.

The new app can also present precipitation levels based on specific locations (e.g., GPS locations or street addresses) via MinuteCast.
