Not exact matches

Widening of the tropics would also probably be associated with poleward movement of major extratropical climate zones due to changes in the position of jet streams, storm tracks, mean position of high and low pressure systems, and associated precipitation regimes.

Negative: Lower and shorter duration snowpack and shift from snow to rain - dominant precipitation regimes resulting in less water available in summer

Changes in precipitation regimes and extreme events can cause ecosystem transitions, increase transport of nutrients and pollutants to downstream ecosystems, and overwhelm the ability of natural systems to mitigate harm to people from these events.

Both precipitation and thermal regimes in Pakistan have suffered changes, especially in the recent two decades in line with a sharp jump in global atmospheric temperatures.

Because the model only describes the rainy season and does not capture the annual monsoon cycle, abrupt transitions in the bistable regime can only be interpreted intraseasonally, e.g., a month of heavy rain followed by a month of extraordinarily weak precipitation.

The fact that the occurrence of warm and moderately dry years approaches that of moderately dry years in the last decades of the Historical experiment (Fig. 3 B and C) and that 91 % of negative precipitation years in 1995 — 2014 co-occurred with warm anomalies (Fig. 1B) suggests possible emergence of a regime in which nearly all dry years co-occur with warm conditions.

2006 ** Shepherd, J.M., 2006: Evidence of urban - induced precipitation variability in arid climate regimes.

It seems clear to me that the sentence is about responses to a shift from one climate regime, the recent past and present day, to another, with less precipitation, in the future (it is the IPCC climate change impacts report after all, and they do say `... not necessarily producing gradual changes between the current and the future situation»).
