Sentences with phrase «precipitation processes over»

Not exact matches

At local scales and over shorter periods, annual streamflow responds to seasonal changes in climate variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation) and related processes such as evapotranspiration.

process where cold winds blowing over a relatively warm lake cause rapid cloud formation and precipitation.

We expect such a process to broaden the distribution of precipitation over tropical land.

This process prevents the land — atmosphere system from sustaining precipitation over the same region and thus acts against drought or the formation of desert.

The principal scientific objective is to make global SSS measurements over the ice - free oceans with 150 - km spatial resolution, and to achieve a measurement error less than 0.2 (PSS - 78 [practical salinity scale of 1978]-RRB- on a 30 - day time scale, taking into account all sensors and geophysical random errors and biases.Salinity is indeed a key indicator of the strength of the hydrologic cycle because it tracks the differences created by varying evaporation and precipitation, runoff, and ice processes.

Although the global models have improved over time (Chapter 8), they still have limitations that affect the simulation of extreme events in terms of spatial resolution, simulation errors, and parametrizations that must represent processes that can not yet be included explicitly in the models, particularly dealing with clouds and precipitation (Meehl et al., 2000d).

How well can CMIP5 simulate precipitation and its controlling processes over tropical South America?
