The term
"rainfall increase" means that there is more rain falling on a particular area than there used to be.
Full definition
He and his team are analyzing how much of the state's
projected rainfall increases will result from either changing atmospheric moisture levels or longer - lasting events.
As rainfall increases across the North West, watering holes have reappeared and are near ready for locals to cool off.
The biggest impact in the UK would be from rising sea levels and increased inland flooding, with
rainfall increasing in the winter and summers being drier.
Monsoon season is well under way in July
with rainfall increasing from June and further increasing towards the end of the monsoon season.
When
rainfall increased from the changing climate, flooding provided a thin layer of fresh water for Azolla to creep outward, over parts of the surrounding continents.
This December is around 5C warmer than normal and physics tells us that 24 hour extreme
rainfall increases by 7 % per degree.
«We already know that on the one hand,
reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, and on the other hand, forest loss can intensify regional droughts.
The probability of
rainfall increases slightly as the month progresses, with the likelihood of rainfall rising from 43 % on September 1st up to 49 % by September 30th.
After a hot and humid summer, Cancun in Mexico begins to cool down during October, when temperatures drop slightly and the probability
of rainfall increases.
German summers tend to be warm and sunny with temperatures falling between 20 °C and 30 °C
although rainfall increases slightly during June, July and August.
Let's say for example, that we have a scenario in SE Aust where summer and
autumn rainfall increase by +5 % and winter - spring decreases by -5 %.
Global rainfall increases typically cause an overall reduction of specific humidity (q) and relative humidity (RH) in the upper tropospheric levels of the broader scale surrounding convection subsidence regions.
Separately it is found that the computer models underspecify (by a factor of three) the important rate of increase of evaporation with projected temperature rise, meaning that the models
underspecify rainfall increase and exaggerate the risk ofdrought.
There is a noticeable change in winter precipitation with
winter rainfall increasing through the 19th Century portion of the record, then remaining largely constant through the 20th Century despite a rise and fall in the first half.
«We already know that, on the one hand,
reduced rainfall increases the risk of forest dieback, and, on the other hand, forest loss can intensify regional droughts.
* Correction, 20 February, 9:45 a.m.: This article has been updated to correct amount of temperature drop and
rainfall increase, the years of the simulations, the number of WRCP models used, and results of the control simulations.
Another study published online today in the journal Environmental Research Letters (ERL) directly attributes
the rainfall increase to human - caused climate change.
In the central United States, for example, observational data indicate that
rainfall increased, surface air temperature decreased, and surface humidity increased during the summer over the course of the 20th century concurrently with increases in both agricultural production and global GHG emissions.
Evidence for changes in precipitation is mixed: some studies show a dryer climate during the peak warmth of the PETM, whereas others suggest that
rainfall increased.
Neither completed a lap at speed as
the rainfall increased, and the team elected to sit out the remainder of the initial two - hour evening session.
Moving into Southern Africa, weather is more tropical than in the very north of Africa and
rainfall increases as you head further south.
Meanwhile,
rainfall increases to 6 inches (156 mm).
Why has
rainfall increased in the West?
* Correction, 20 February, 9:45 a.m.: This article has been updated to correct amount of temperature drop and
rainfall increase, the years of the simulations, the number of WRCP models used, and results of the control simulations.
In addition, during the 20th century, temperature increases,
rainfall increases and decreases, and changes in extreme events, were reported for several areas.
which says «Rayner (2006) demonstrated that, apart from the northwest of the country (where increased cloudiness associated with
the rainfall increase may play a role), the observed decline in pan evaporation was clearly related to declines in wind speed.
From this perspective, the model projections suggest that
rainfall increases would not be sufficient to support sufficient vegetation to stop dust emission.
