Snow melt and rain will cause many rivers and streams to rise, potentially breaking ice layers causing ice jams and localized flooding with water covered roads, especially in low lying areas and urban and poor drainage areas.

This is called alpenglow, and it happens because the sunlight reflects downward off snow, water, or ice particles low in the atmosphere.

The other two shortlisted missions — which had been whittled down from an original list of over 20 possibilities — were CoReH2O, which sought to model the water balance in glaciers and snow - covered areas, and PREMIER, which aimed to study chemical processes in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere and the radiative effects of clouds.

Wetland soils often form in flat, low - lying areas or in depressions where water from rain or snow collects.

«While reduced snowpack has been predicted for some time, they find that the shift toward low snow years and increasing water stress in the Northern Hemisphere is «imminent,»» said Andrew Fahlund, executive director of the Water in the West program at Stanwater stress in the Northern Hemisphere is «imminent,»» said Andrew Fahlund, executive director of the Water in the West program at StanWater in the West program at Stanford.

For each measurement, they lowered a marine snow catcher beneath the upper layer of the ocean to capture a water sample.

Negative: Lower and shorter duration snowpack and shift from snow to rain - dominant precipitation regimes resulting in less water available in summer

[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)

In other words, in cold regions where the ground is covered by ice or snow, then the vapour pressure of water vapour is low, and CO2 is the dominant greenhouse gas.

It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on» at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...»

As the years pass, Antarctica's lowering of sea level (by accumulating water as snow and ice) will decrease until eventually (20 years Zwally estimated) Antarctica will start to contribute to sea level rise.

This means the inertia of earth has decreased due the massive snows that we have had during the past decade and more which moved water from the low latitude oceans to ice on high latitudes.

When oceans get cold, and the surface of polar waters freezes, it snows much less and the sun takes away ice and limites the lower bound of temperature and sea level.

More than one - sixth of the world's population live in glacier - or snowmelt - fed river basins and will be affected by the seasonal shift in streamflow, an increase in the ratio of winter to annual flows, and possibly the reduction in low flows caused by decreased glacier extent or snow water storage (high confidence)[3.4.1, 3.4.3].

One would think that when the glaciers in the mountains are locked in winter's icy grip and therefore not melting any, the rivers that they are a part of continue to run water from springs, rainfall and snow melt from lower regions of the mountains and for sure they do not «dry up» like these people would want the illogical to believe and believe they do.

However, no anthropogenic influence can be detected for 1 - day and 3 - day surface runoff, as increases in extreme precipitation in the present - day climate are offset by decreased snow cover and lower frozen water content in soils during the May — June transition months, compared to pre-industrial climate.

Snow water equivalent is projected to decline throughout the Peace and Campbell and at low elevations within the Columbia.

Although these hydrological changes could potentially increase soil water availability in previously snow - covered regions during the cool low - ET season (34), this effect would likely be outweighed by the influence of warming temperatures (and decreased runoff) during the warm high - ET season (36, 38), as well as by the increasing occurrence of consecutive years with low precipitation and high temperature (Fig. 4A).

The result is warming of the tropics and of the highest latitudes (but the latter stay below the freezing point of water) and a flow of cold into the mid latitudes and more precipitation in the form of snow at lower latitudes than normal.

I doubt that snow or ice absorbs anything like 90 per cent of incident solar energy — so throughout June and July and probably much of May and August the albedo of water is much lower lower than that of ice.

The things to consider are immense benefits of cheap energy that makes the developed world so productive, fertilization of the atmosphere for agriculture, lowering fresh water requirements per unit growth in agriculture, longer growing seasons, and less ice / snow in general.

The systems and sectors are some ecosystems (tundra, boreal forest, mountain, mediterranean - type, mangroves, salt marshes, coral reefs and the sea - ice biome), low - lying coasts, water resources in some dry regions at mid-latitudes and in the dry topics and in areas dependent on snow and ice melt, agriculture in low - latitude regions, and human health in areas with low adaptive capacity.
