This is achieved by slow addition of dilute calcium chloride solution into dilute carbonate buffer to induce supersaturation, causing nucleation and precipitation of calcium carbonate.

This fog layer is induced by the large nighttime precipitation, missed by current climate models, which underestimated the effect of clouds and precipitation.

The distributions of other species, like Mg and Ca, as observed by MESSENGER, peak at dawn, consistently with a release induced by micrometeoroid vaporization, assuming a preferential precipitation in the leading side (Burger et al. 2014).

The related «News and Views» commentary by Richard P. Allan of the University of Reading expressed the findings well, saying the authors «provide evidence that human - induced increases in greenhouse - gas concentrations led to the intensification of heavy precipitation events over large swathes of land in the Northern Hemisphere during the latter half of the twentieth century.»

A new study co-authored by Francis Zwiers, the director of UVic's Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, suggests that human - induced global warming may be responsible for the increases in heavy precipitation that have been observed over much of the Northern Hemisphere including North America and Eurasia over the past several decades.

In commenting on their findings, the three researchers write that «the large number of stable glacier termini and glacier advances is influenced by positive glacier mass balances in the central Karakoram during the last decade,» citing Gardelle et al. (2012, 2013) and Kaab et al. (2012), which they indicate is «induced by increasing winter precipitation and decreasing summer temperatures since the 1960s,» citing Archer and Fowler (2004), Williams and Ferrigno (2010), Bolch et al. (2012), Yao et al. (2012) and Bocchiola and Diolaiuti (2013).

As for how this could be — and in light of the findings of the references listed above — Rankl et al. reasoned that «considering increasing precipitation in winter and decreasing summer mean and minimum temperatures across the upper Indus Basin since the 1960s,» plus the «short response times of small glaciers,» it is only logical to conclude that these facts «suggest a shift from negative to balanced or positive mass budgets in the 1980s or 1990s or even earlier, induced by changing climatic conditions since the 1960s.»

As in previous dry periods, precipitation - inducing winter storms were steered away from California by a persistent atmospheric ridging system in the North Pacific.

Importantly, the changes in cereal yield projected for the 2020s and 2080s are driven by GHG - induced climate change and likely do not fully capture interannual precipitation variability which can result in large yield reductions during dry periods, as the IPCC (Christensen et al., 2007) states: ``... there is less confidence in the ability of the AOGCMs (atmosphere - ocean general circulation models) to generate interannual variability in the SSTs (sea surface temperatures) of the type known to affect African rainfall, as evidenced by the fact that very few AOGCMs produce droughts comparable in magnitude to the Sahel droughts of the 1970s and 1980s.»

The relative magnitudes of the climate impacts induced by the naturally - occurring NAO and by anthropogenic factors will depend on the time horizon (e.g., next few decades vs. end of the twenty - first century), time - scale (interannual vs. multi-decadal), and parameter (temperature vs. precipitation) of interest (e.g., Deser et al. 2012).

A 2015 study found that warm conditions induced by human - caused global warming have already increased the risk of severe drought in California, even in the absence of trends in precipitation.

Indeed, our results show that even in the absence of trends in mean precipitation — or trends in the occurrence of extremely low - precipitation events — the risk of severe drought in California has already increased due to extremely warm conditions induced by anthropogenic global warming.

Drought stress could partially be counteracted by concurrent CO2 - induced enhanced water - use efficiency (Gerten et al., 2005), small regional increases in precipitation, and an increased depth of permafrost thawing.

Temperature changes induced by sun and oceans drive air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.
