Sentences with phrase «hydrological responses»

What impact did pre-industrial land cover change have on the hydrological responses?
Could tropical cloud feedbacks, or the coupling to ENSO, amplify the effects of low latitude hydrological responses to high - latitude anomalies in these models?
Spatial and temporal differences in thermal response to storm events were controlled by precipitation and stream discharge peak characteristics (above) plus antecedent basin conditions, which together determine the nature and rapidity of hydrological response.

Not exact matches

In particular, this information is building our understanding on the responses of vegetation, fish and frogs to environmental water as well as hydrological connectivity.
(McNutt's response was «no» because drawbacks to the hydrological cycle would likely exceed the benefits in terms of global climate.)
Regional trends are notoriously problematic for models, and seems more likely to me that the underprediction of European warming has to do with either the modeled ocean temperature pattern, the modelled atmospheric response to this pattern, or some problem related to the local hydrological cycle and boundary layer moisture dynamics.
Held I M and Soden B J 2006 Robust responses of the hydrological cycle to global warming J. Clim.
Lu, Jianhua, Ming Cai, 2009: Stabilization of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer and the Muted Global Hydrological Cycle Response to Global Warming.
The observed climate is just the equilibrium response to such variations with the positions of the air circulation systems and the speed of the hydrological cycle always adjusting to bring energy differentials between all the many ocean and atmosphere layers back towards equilibrium (Wilde's Law?).
Constraining the response of the hydrological cycle, land surface and regional weather to global climate change.
Variations in regional hydrological processes and water resources and their response to change in the environment such as the increase of greenhouse gases will be examined.
Dynamical and thermodynamical causes of large - scale changes in the hydrological cycle over North America in response to global warming
One resolves in this manner the short - term components of the climate response, such as hydrological perturbations associated with changes in lapse rate.
The observed climate is just the equilibrium response to such variations with the positions of the air circulation systems and the speed of the hydrological cycle always adjusting to bring energy differentials above and below the troposphere back towards equilibrium (Wilde's Law?).
I say this seems at odds with your statement «The observed climate is just the equilibrium response to such variations with the positions of the air circulation systems and the speed of the hydrological cycle always adjusting to bring energy differentials above and below the troposphere back towards equilibrium (Wilde's Law?).»
(1) Lu, Jianhua, Ming Cai, 2009: Stabilization of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer and the Muted Global Hydrological Cycle Response to Global Warming.
If a shift in the hydrological cycle were to lower the response in the global mean temperature, there may be a poisonous sting in such a negative feedback: changes in the precipitation patterns.
However, the expectation is that if we average over a sufficiently long timescales (decades) that the response will be roughly linear (I'm thinking specifically about temperature change, and changes to the hydrological cycle).
Pu, B. & Dickinson, R. E. Hydrological changes in the climate system from leaf responses to increasing CO2.
One interesting science question is whether a response to changes in the GHG concentration mainly will involve a global mean temperature change dT s / dt, or if the response leads to changes in the hydrological cycle turn - around rate η z (t).
When done so, proxy records and climate models indicate that the response to past global warming was profound, with evidence for global reorganisation of the hydrological cycle and profound local increases and decreases in rainfall; combined with elevated temperatures and terrestrial vegetation change, this appears to often result in warming - enhanced soil organic matter oxidation, chemical weathering and nutrient cycling.
