Sentences with phrase «precipitation response»

Model - average mean local precipitation responses also roughly scale with the global mean temperature response across the emissions scenarios, though not as well as for temperature.

Merlis, T. M., T. Schneider, S. Bordoni, and I. Eisenman, 2013: The tropical precipitation response to orbital precession.

It's interesting to note that while the result of a muted precipitation response to global warming appears to be theoretically sound and robust across models, satellite observations suggest that precipitation is increasing closer to 7 % per K, instead of 3 % per K (Wentz et al 2007).

In some places the extreme precipitation response in the RCMs to external forcing from a covariate is of the opposite sign, despite use of the same lateral boundary conditions and dynamical core.

A low confidence in climate attribution results mainly from lack of monitoring, lack of a clear precipitation response, and inconsistency between the direction of reported trends and trends documented in global observational products over the default period.

(page 4): «The solar forced run exhibits a larger precipitation response per degree of warming than the CO2 forced run, as expected from the theory outlined earlier in this section, even though the precipitation response [note: this must be the temperature response] per unit forcing is smaller than for CO2.»

Attribution of hurricane characteristics to climate change is extremely challenging, and the authors have focussed only on the precipitation response, which is perhaps the most well understood, and is particularly important given the nature of the flooding in Texas due to Harvey.

By scaling the precipitation changes, the maps shown in figure 3 will illustrate any differences between the precipitation responses of the high - end and non-high-end models.
