Bromwich, D.H., F.M. Robasky, R.I. Cullather, and M.L. Van Woert, 1995: The atmospheric hydrologic cycle over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica from operational numerical analyses.

Not exact matches

Predicting how increasing atmospheric CO2 will affect the hydrologic cycle, from extreme weather forecasts to long - term projections on agriculture and water resources, is critical both to daily life and to the future of the planet.

The basic principle is that the hydrologic cycle accelerates — warming enhances evaporation, increases atmospheric water content, and subsequently enhances precipitation as well

Note also that there appears — already started — to be a likely increase in drought frequency with atmospheric warming and associated acceleration of the hydrologic cycle, assuming continued greenhouse gas emissions.

If so, I think we want to include tightly coupled chemical and biological processes, in that case — for example, the chemical fate of atmospheric methane over time, the effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 on oceanic acid - base chemistry, and the response of the biological components of the carbon cycle to increased temperatures and a changing hydrologic cycle.

Hydrologic cycle; moisture transport and air - ground exchange; water budgets of meteorological phenomena; climatology of atmospheric water

As an academic and hydrologic forecaster, I have followed an energy centric, reproducible data path to quantify correlations between solar cycles and atmospheric moisture patterns.

Dr Lenton (who is also one of the creators of the planetary - boundaries concept) and Dr Watson suggest that energy might be used to change the hydrologic cycle with massive desalination equipment, or to speed up the carbon cycle by drawing down atmospheric carbon dioxide, or to drive new recycling systems devoted to tin and copper and the many other metals as vital to industrial life as carbon and nitrogen are to living tissue.

Chapter 13: Variability and change in the atmospheric branch of the Arctic hydrologic cycle.

Absorbing aerosols heat the air, alter regional atmospheric stability and vertical motions, and affect the large - scale circulation and hydrologic cycle with significant regional climate effects.

Regarding the hydrologic cycle, multiple factors operate, including important changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, as Chris Colose mentioned.

Do we really have the understanding and sensitivity in all of our measuring to capture the energy budget as it changes form, phase, and location, or are there possibly slow changes in thermocline depths, hydrologic cycle speeds, atmospheric elevations, large ocean currents etc, that can receive energy quickly but manifest it as temperature slowly or even imperceptibly in regard to our ability to capture these changes?
