MRD Journal: Abstract: Rising temperatures and changing
precipitation patterns across the Hindu Kush — Himalaya (HKH) region resulting from climate change have an influence on water resource availability and food security for the downstream population.
Some modeling studies of such effects have suggested drought in the western U.S. or changes in
precipitation patterns across Europe.

Changing
precipitation patterns helped Genghis Khan rise to power — and ride to victory
across Eurasia
As
precipitation moves inland, water with the heavier form of hydrogen falls out first, which creates predictable
patterns of the stable isotopes ratios of
precipitation across continents.
Dusty air blowing
across the Pacific from Asia and Africa plays a critical role in
precipitation patterns throughout the drought - stricken western U.S. Today, a scientist will present new research suggesting that the exact chemical make - up of that dust, including microbes found in it, is the key to how much rain and snow falls from clouds throughout the region.
By the end of the year, that
pattern had flipped, with record and near - record temperatures
across most of the East and near - to below - average temperatures for much of the West, associated with much needed above average
precipitation across the region.
Rising temperatures and changing
precipitation patterns will lead to relative changes in agricultural production, possibly spurring rural to urban migration, or migration
across borders to seek more favorable conditions.
Half the increase in urban land
across the world over the next 20 years will occur in Asia, with the most extensive change expected to take place in India and China Urban areas modify their local and regional climate through the urban heat island effect and by altering
precipitation patterns, which together will have significant impacts on net primary production, ecos...
The
pattern of change for the wettest day of the year is projected to roughly follow that of the average
precipitation, with both increases and decreases
across the U.S. Extreme hydrologic events are projected to increase over most of the U.S.
SRM on the other hand would merely mask temperature increases, with limited effects on ocean acidification, and would create novel climate regimes
across significant areas of the world, with new
patterns and levels of
precipitation.
Because they're skeptics, scientists know to tread carefully when they come
across stories that begin with the words «According to a new study...» But, a new study published last week about the impact of global warming on
precipitation patterns in the lower and middle latitudes has caught the eye of John Walsh and other researchers.
