Sentences with phrase «rainfall event in the region»

Just days later, a real - time analysis by scientists working with Climate Central's World Weather Attribution program has found that global warming has boosted the odds of such an extreme rainfall event in the region by about 40 percent — a small, but clear, effect, the scientists say.

Matching the models with stalagmites There was a much clearer correlation between less rainfall in the region and the Heinrich events, Carolin said.

Olson says climate scientists predict a continued pattern of extreme rainfall events in the upper Mississippi River region.

An increased risk of intense, short - duration rainfall events in mid-latitude regions has been predicted consistently for well over a decade as part of the pattern of human influence on precipitation.

The another most important climate variation is El Niño — Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, which impact the global oceanic and atmospheric circulations which thereby produce droughts, floods and intense rainfall in certain regions.

But we do know, says Levermann, that extreme rainfall events will increase in the future, and every projection shows much great land flooding in some regions.

Observational evidence indicates that the frequency of the heaviest rainfall events has likely increased within many land regions in general agreement with model simulations that indicate that rainfall in the heaviest events is likely to increase in line with atmospheric water vapour concentration.

El Nino events typically lead to delayed rainfall and decreased rice planting in Indonesia's main rice - growing regions, thus prolonging the hungry season and increasing the risk of annual rice deficits.

Precipitation occurs about once every seven days in the western part of the region and once every three days in the southeastern part.77 The 10 rainiest days can contribute as much as 40 % of total precipitation in a given year.77 Generally, annual precipitation increased during the past century (by up to 20 % in some locations), with much of the increase driven by intensification of the heaviest rainfalls.77, 78,79 This tendency towards more intense precipitation events is projected to continue in the future.80

Other major climate impacts at 2 degrees Celsisus include severe threats to coral reefs across the globe, a greater risk of long lasting heat waves and extreme rainfall events, and the risk of lower yields for key crops like wheat in the globe's tropical regions.

These factors point to a need for planners to account for such rainfall events as housing and infrastructure development occurs in this region, and for the possibility that the intensity and frequency of such events might change in the future as the climate continues to warm.

If an El Niño event develops, it will influence temperatures and precipitation and contribute to droughts or heavy rainfall in different regions of the world,» said Michel Jarraud, secretary - general of WMO.

As in that study, they analyzed the history of rainfall measurements in the region to work out just how unusual the incredible rainfall totals from Harvey were — and whether the chances of an event like that have changed over time.

In particular, in the European Mediterranean region, increases in the frequency of extreme climate events during specific crop development stages (e.g., heat stress during flowering period, rainy days during sowing time), together with higher rainfall intensity and longer dry spells, are likely to reduce the yield of summer crops (e.g., sunflowerIn particular, in the European Mediterranean region, increases in the frequency of extreme climate events during specific crop development stages (e.g., heat stress during flowering period, rainy days during sowing time), together with higher rainfall intensity and longer dry spells, are likely to reduce the yield of summer crops (e.g., sunflowerin the European Mediterranean region, increases in the frequency of extreme climate events during specific crop development stages (e.g., heat stress during flowering period, rainy days during sowing time), together with higher rainfall intensity and longer dry spells, are likely to reduce the yield of summer crops (e.g., sunflowerin the frequency of extreme climate events during specific crop development stages (e.g., heat stress during flowering period, rainy days during sowing time), together with higher rainfall intensity and longer dry spells, are likely to reduce the yield of summer crops (e.g., sunflower).

In addition to direct crop damage from increasingly intense precipitation events, wet springs can delay planting for grain and vegetables in New York, for example, and subsequently delay harvest dates and reduce yields.67 This is an issue for agriculture nationally, 65 but is particularly acute for the Northeast, where heavy rainfall events have increased more than in any other region of the country (CIn addition to direct crop damage from increasingly intense precipitation events, wet springs can delay planting for grain and vegetables in New York, for example, and subsequently delay harvest dates and reduce yields.67 This is an issue for agriculture nationally, 65 but is particularly acute for the Northeast, where heavy rainfall events have increased more than in any other region of the country (Cin New York, for example, and subsequently delay harvest dates and reduce yields.67 This is an issue for agriculture nationally, 65 but is particularly acute for the Northeast, where heavy rainfall events have increased more than in any other region of the country (Cin any other region of the country (Ch.

In particular, over NH land, an increase in the likelihood of very wet winters is projected over much of central and northern Europe due to the increase in intense precipitation during storm events, suggesting an increased chance of flooding over Europe and other mid-latitude regions due to more intense rainfall and snowfall events producing more runofIn particular, over NH land, an increase in the likelihood of very wet winters is projected over much of central and northern Europe due to the increase in intense precipitation during storm events, suggesting an increased chance of flooding over Europe and other mid-latitude regions due to more intense rainfall and snowfall events producing more runofin the likelihood of very wet winters is projected over much of central and northern Europe due to the increase in intense precipitation during storm events, suggesting an increased chance of flooding over Europe and other mid-latitude regions due to more intense rainfall and snowfall events producing more runofin intense precipitation during storm events, suggesting an increased chance of flooding over Europe and other mid-latitude regions due to more intense rainfall and snowfall events producing more runoff.

Such high SSTs are associated with most ENSO events, and it is probably SSTs in these regions, rather than the Pacific ENSO (Nicholson and Kim, 1997), that have the largest influence on east African rainfall.

In marked contrast, some regions have experienced significantly fewer record - breaking daily rainfall events.
