Not exact matches

A warm spring limited the amount of frozen precipitation that fell across the state during the second half of the season.

The total precipitation for the month of October amounts to a respectable 53 mm and rain is expected on 4 days of the month across the archipelago.

Monthly total precipitation for the month of April amounts to a respectable 132 mm, which is more or less evenly distributed across much of the southern part of Maldives.

We know that precipitation intensity has been increasing (the amount of rain that falls in the most intense events) across the northern hemisphere — this was clear in the literature even before the Pall et al paper.

It acquires some moisture in its passage across the Mediterranean Sea but it is still usually too dry to produce any significant amounts of precipitation.

Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of high magnitude snowfall years over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely difficult.

Try halving the amount of precipitation (rain and snow) available to a few dozen major watersheds across the globe.

Try halving or doubling the amount of precipitation (rain and snow) available to a few dozen major watersheds across the globe.

We know that precipitation intensity has been increasing (the amount of rain that falls in the most intense events) across the northern hemisphere — === Really, more precip?

PRUDENCE RCM outputs showed non-linear relationships between mean maximum temperature and indices of drought and heatwave (Good et al., 2006), while changes in maximum 1 - day and 5 - day precipitation amounts were systematically enhanced relative to changes in seasonal mean precipitation across many regions of Europe (Beniston et al., 2007).

If the emissions that cause global warming continue unabated, scientists expect the amount of rainfall during the heaviest precipitation events across country to increase more than 40 percent by the end of the century.
