Global climate projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, showing temperature and
precipitation trends for two
different future scenarios, as described in the Climate chapter of this assessment (IPCC 2014a).
For example, nearly all recent model intercomparisons show that AOGCMs poorly reproduce
precipitation in 30 ° S - 30 ° N, they still diverge for cloud cover evolution at
different levels of the vertical column, and I don't clearly understand for my part how we can speculate on long term
trends of tropospheric T without a good understanding of these convection - condensation -
precipitation process.
The water vapor feedback (a generally positive feedback)-- there is an roughly exponential increase in saturation water vapor pressure with increasing temperature, and the relative humidity (at a given vertical level) overall tends not to change a lot globally, though there will be
different regional
trends associated with shifting
precipitation patterns.
