«Many applications, such as power plant reactors, require the management and control of the movement of water droplets at very high temperatures,» says Wang, an associate professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering at City University.

Gagliano says that as - yet - unpublished work shows that exposing adult reef fish to higher water temperatures and increasingly acid water — both of which are associated with global warming — increases the percentage of offspring born with asymmetrical otoliths.

The higher temperatures associated with climate change near the surface are resulting in increased evaporation, leading to more water vapor in the stratosphere which chemically reacting with the ozone — resulting in ozone depletion.

Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of high magnitude snowfall years over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely difficult.

Over northern continents in winter, however, more precipitation is associated with higher temperatures, as the water holding capacity of the atmosphere increases in the warmer conditions.
