Sentences with phrase «hydrologic responses»

OTOH, where the surface budget seems to play a significant role is in diagnosing hydrologic responses to global warming.

They have provided a much better understanding of hydrologic responses to climate change, which in turn will provide tremendous guidance for future planning.»

Their study will include the hydrologic responses such as runoff and streamflow over land and atmospheric processes above the boundary layer.

Dr. Jefferson's research focuses on urban watersheds and stormwater management, hydrologic responses to climate variability and change, and landscape evolution.

This study highlights the key role of vegetation in controlling future terrestrial hydrologic response and emphasizes that the continental carbon and water cycles are intimately coupled over land and must be studied as an interconnected system.

«Our finding that vegetation plays a key role future in terrestrial hydrologic response and water stress is of utmost importance to properly predict future dryness and water resources,» says Gentine, whose research focuses on the relationship between hydrology and atmospheric science, land / atmosphere interaction, and its impact on climate change.

Further, to understand the difference in the zonal - mean hydrologic response between different forcings, it is necessary to look at the surface terms (e.g., Chen and Ramaswamy, 1996).

«While we are confident in our findings, we also recognise that these Arctic ecosystems remain insufficiently observed, and there are still gaps in our knowledge of this subject, such as the biogeochemical mechanism and the hydrologic response,» said Gao.

So while the solar influence may have produced a broadly similar hydrologic response for many centuries, it now competes with potentially stronger perturbations.

Not exact matches

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.

Energetic constraints and response of hydrologic cycle to climate change.

Bischof, M. M., M. A. Hanson, M. R. Fulton, R. K. Kolka, S. D. Sebestyen, and M. G. Butler, 2013: Invertebrate community patterns in seasonal ponds in Minnesota, USA: Response to hydrologic and environmental variability.

The pattern and spatial gradients of forcing affect global and regional temperature responses as well as other aspects of climate response such as the hydrologic cycle.

Qualitatively, CMIP5 shows a similar streamflow response as CMIP3 for snow - dominated hydrologic regimes.

By comparing two similar watersheds, the team was able to accomplish three objectives: They refined predictions of how a fire in the upper Mission Creek watershed would affect hydrologic and sedimentary processes in the following rainy season, they identified the post-fire risk of flooding to downstream communities, and they provided information that local government agencies can and are using to assess current mitigation strategies and emergency response to potential flooding.

I was hoping that they could take a few good stalagmites while in there so I could do a hydrologic paleoclimate reconstruction there... I was thinking that NSF and DoD would be on board for some rapid response funding if we could actually get some samples.

Multiple climate modeling studies have shown that both scattering and absorbing aerosols induce strong regional hydrologic cycle changes (e.g. (Levy et al. 2013; Ramanathan and Carmichael 2008; Wang et al. 2009)-RRB-, and that there is typically a substantially greater precipitation response per unit RF than for well - mixed greenhouse gases (Shindell et al. 2012a, b).
