The situation regarding glaciers on Mt. Kenya is probably more complicated than just a question about temperature — changes in precipitation pattern will also affect their mass balance.

These shape the 4 - dimensional pattern of temperature and other changes — the patterns of circulation, latent heating, and precipitation will shift, as can the cycles driven the imposed diurnal and seasonal cycles in incident solar radiation; the texture of internal variability can also shift.

At the same time, precipitation patterns are also changing all over the planet; in the Arctic, that means more erratic snowfall.

The concept is related to the more general phenomenon of climate change, which refers to changes in the totality of attributes that define climate — not only sur - face temperatures, but also precipitation patterns, winds, ocean currents, and other measures of the Earth's climate.

Lower case a-h refer to how the literature was addressed in terms of up / downscaling (a — clearly defined global impact for a specific ΔT against a specific baseline, upscaling not necessary; b — clearly defined regional impact at a specific regional ΔT where no GCM used; c — clearly defined regional impact as a result of specific GCM scenarios but study only used the regional ΔT; d — as c but impacts also the result of regional precipitation changes; e — as b but impacts also the result of regional precipitation change; f — regional temperature change is off - scale for upscaling with available GCM patterns to 2100, in which case upscaling is, where possible, approximated by using Figures 10.5 and 10.8 from Meehl et al., 2007; g — studies which estimate the range of possible outcomes in a given location or region considering a multi-model ensemble linked to a global temperature change.

Several studies suggest that there would be a change in precipitation patterns over the tropics, associated with a southward shift of the intertropical convergence zone (e.g., Vellinga et al 2002; Brayshaw et al, 2009), which could also affect the intensity of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific (Timmermann et al, 2007).
