predict changes in precipitation.

«If we can understand the mechanisms that caused these
changes, then we can better
predict how
precipitation might
change in the future.»
These models can then be mapped against climate forecasts to
predict how phenology could shift
in the future, painting a picture of landscapes
in a world of warmer temperatures, altered
precipitation and humidity, and
changes in cloud cover.
A team of scientists from Vanderbilt and Stanford universities have created the first comprehensive map of the topsy - turvy climate of the period and are using it to test and improve the global climate models that have been developed to
predict how
precipitation patterns will
change in the future.
As the 2014 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change report notes, models
predict that increasing temperature ought to cause greater
precipitation extremes
in both directions — both drought and flooding, though there are likely more areas of heavy
precipitation.
It is quite strange that this paper seems to review future of tropical rainforest
in the face of rising CO2 and rising temperature — unfortunately, it completely lacks to mention
change in precipitation, which is just - another - very - important (climate
change) metric — and it completely fails to mention modelling work of Peter Cox group — that
predicts decline
in rain forest productivity and growth due to decline
in precipitation..
Indeed, snowfall is often
predicted to increase
in many regions
in response to anthropogenic climate
change, since warmer air, all other things being equal, holds more moisture, and therefore, the potential for greater amounts of
precipitation whatever form that
precipitation takes.
In particular, the report authors predicted that with climate change there would be an increase in certain types of extreme weather, including daily high temperatures, heat waves, heavy precipitation and droughts, in some place

America's WETLAND Foundation Restore - Adapt - Mitigate: Responding To Climate
Change Through Coastal Habitat Restoration PDF Coastal habitats are being subjected to a range of stresses from climate change; many of these stresses are predicted to increase over the next century The most significant effects are likely to be from sea - level rise, increased storm and wave intensity, temperature increases, carbon dioxide concentration increases, and changes in precipitation that will alter freshwater deliver

While seemingly incongruous, scientists are
predicting both more droughts and flooding for the southeastern United States, noting that the region has already experienced
changes in the frequency, distribution, and intensity of
precipitation, a trend that is expected to continue.

Changes in precipitation are quite complex, 9 and current computer models of climate have only a limited ability to
predict the heaviest
precipitation.
Shown are

It's crucial to note that while overall
precipitation is
predicted to go up
in Canada, that
precipitation will come
in winter, not
in summer during the growing season, says geographer David Sauchyn, a professor at the University of Regina, who recently led a federal government study on the impacts of climate
change on the prairies.
At half that level the
predicted changes in temperature and
precipitation are pretty trivial.
Most studies monitor and
predict changes in drought using indices that only consider temperature and amount of
precipitation.
Climate
change projections
predict increases
in precipitation and air temperature for northern Europe, with the greatest temperature increase during winter and the greatest
precipitation increase from April to September.
