The Earth's rising temperature is expected to knock the global water cycle out of whack, but exactly how it will change is uncertain.
Understanding how well climate models represent these processes will help reduce uncertainties in the model projections of the effects of global warming on the world's water cycle.
Understanding how human water use would respond to global warming and its combined effects on the hydrologic cycle is important for better designing mitigation and adaption strategies to the global change in the future.
This is done by scaling local to global warming and by «coupled linkages» that show how other climate changes, such as alterations in the water cycle, scale with temperature.»
As part of my past and ongoing research I have used a range of observations and models to examine how clouds interact with background aerosols, how clouds respond to warming, and what role clouds play in the global water cycle.
His current research focuses on the global energy and water cycles and how they are changing.
«In general, understanding how Earth's climate varies on decadal timescales and, especially, the way in which fresh water is passed between different reservoirs within the global water cycle, rightfully remains at the forefront of climate science with wide - ranging implications with regards to understanding future conditions both in the near - term and long - term.
And then, ignoring that the heat we feel from the Sun is thermal infrared so does reach us, say that carbon dioxide a trace gas, and already fully part and parcel of the cooling cycling of the Earth in the Water Cycle, is responsible for raising the temperature of the Earth from -18 °C to 15 °C, without ever giving any rational explanation as to how it actually does this, and, that doubling it will cause catastrophic runaway global warming, doubling a trace gas it still remains a trace gas.
The paper by Tamisiea et al. (2010) examines how the exchange of water between the atmosphere, oceans, and continents can contribute to the water cycle, load the Earth and change its geoid, and cause the annual variations in relative sea level over the global ocean.
