Sentences with phrase «monsoon regions»
"Monsoon regions" refers to areas of the world that experience a distinct weather pattern known as a monsoon. This means they have a wet and dry season that alternates throughout the year. During the wet season, these regions receive heavy rainfall, while the dry season is characterized by little to no rainfall. Full definition
Irrigation effects on climate may also be indirect, especially in monsoon regions where alteration of the thermal contrast between land and ocean may produce changes in monsoon circulation and the accompanying climatic variables.

Overall, the model reproduces the basic features of the diurnal cycle of rainfall over the core monsoon region of northwestern Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Large positive values of P * — E * indicate anomalously wet regions such as the Asian monsoon regions, the Pacific ITCZ, and the Northern Hemisphere storm tracks; large negative values of P * — E * indicate anomalously dry regions such as the subtropical lows, the Mediterranean, and the Boreal forests (Fig. 1).

Summer monsoons bring large amounts of rainfall to tropical monsoon regions.
Chelliah and Bell (2004) defined a tropical multi-decadal pattern related to the AMO, the PDO and winter NAO with coherent variations in tropical convection and surface temperatures in the West African monsoon region, the central tropical Pacific, the Amazon Basin and the tropical Indian Ocean.
«Through a comprehensive statistical analysis of precipitation observations (1951 — 2011), we show that statistically significant decreases in peak - season precipitation over the core monsoon region have cooccurred with statistically significant increases in daily - scale precipitation variability,» the researchers said.
Similar results apply for summer precipitation, with implications for more flooding in the Asian monsoon region and other tropical areas.
Normally, groundwater levels in this monsoon region are higher than the rivers, so water flows from aquifers into adjacent waterways.
