Sentences with phrase «precipitation projections»

Outside these areas, the sign and magnitude of projected changes varies between models, leading to substantial uncertainty in precipitation projections.

They also conclude that regional precipitation projections for warming of 1.5 degrees C and 2 degrees C remain uncertain, «but the eastern U.S. is projected to experience wetter winters and the Great Plains and Northwest are projected to experience drier summers in the future.»

For Montana, increasing temperatures will likely intensify drought when it occurs, but precipitation projections do not reveal increasing duration or frequency of drought.

This time, «there is low confidence in future precipitation projections at a subregional level and thus in future freshwater availability in most parts of Asia.»

Attention has thus been focused on precipitation — temperature relationships in the hope of obtaining more robust extreme precipitation projections that exploit higher confidence temperature projections.

Next, methods are applied to phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) daily precipitation projections over Canada.

Radic and colleague Regine Hock of the University of Alaska used temperature and precipitation projections from 10 global climate models used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for their research.

Van de Steeg et al. (2009) highlight the difficulties and higher uncertainties around precipitation projections for the East Africa region, but an increase in rainfall is projected for the core of the Horn of Africa region, east of the Great Lakes (Thornton et al. 2008), although extreme events (e.g. floods and droughts) are likely to increase in frequency in some areas, particularly in the north - east of the this region.

This means that precipitation projections can not be applied uniformly across the state, whereas temperature trends are more consistent statewide.

Precipitation projections, for example, are important for many impacts studies — of freshwater availability, agricultural production, and development of water - hungry industries — but global climate models differ wildly on precipitation in African locales.
