Sentences with phrase «local hydrological cycle»

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.

but no significative changes in the global hydrological cycle only small und big local precipitation's changes

While the local nature of ABCs around polluted cities has been known since the early 1900s, the widespread transoceanic and transcontinental nature of ABCs as well as their large - scale effects on climate, hydrological cycle, and agriculture were discovered inadvertently by The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX), an international experiment conducted in the 1990s over the Indian Ocean.

The scientists analyzed tree - ring data and other indicators of local historical climate and found neither climate change nor natural hydrological cycles to be responsible for the diminishing of the lake.

Within HYDRA this uncertainty in the hydrological cycle on both the global and local scales will be explored.

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.
