Sentences with phrase «regional rainfall patterns»

Large - scale changes in savanna vegetation cover may also feed back to regional rainfall patterns.

A new study released Friday in the journal Science Advances helps clear up a bit of the mystery, by showing that man - made climate change is responsible for most of the change seen in ocean surface temperatures near the equator across Asia, which in turn affect regional rainfall patterns including the Indian monsoon.

Not exact matches

Since trends in convective rainfall are not easily detected in daily rainfall records, or well - simulated by global or regional climate models, the researchers created a new tool to assess the effects of climate change on rainfall patterns and trends in dryland areas.

But many of the key questions — regional variability, changes in the patterns of rainfall or statistics of drought, or the interplay of dynamics and thermodynamics in sea ice change — can only be approached using comprehensive models.

The regional patterns of tropical rainfall diurnal cycles are specified in the Amazon, Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, Calcutta, Bay of Bengal, Malaysia, and northern Australia.

Can the science reliably predict significant changes in rainfall patterns at regional or local levels for say the next 5 decades?

In addition, the pattern of sea surface temperatures at low latitudes is extremely important for regional climate variations (shown, for example, by the increased likelihood of heavy winter rainfall in California when the eastern tropical Pacific warms in El Niño events).

Scientists have also observed that many of Earth's glaciers, ecosystems and other systems are already being impacted by rising regional temperatures and altered rainfall amounts and patterns.

But, I think that nation states are going to engage in unilateral geoengineering to change rainfall patterns in the next thirty years and that will lead to new regional conflicts (which we don't need).

The regional impacts on rainfall and weather patterns need to be fully investigated before we go down that road.

These oceanic variations are associated with significant regional and global shifts in temperature and rainfall patterns that are evident in the observations.

The National Rural Health Alliance acknowledges that climate change poses a growing risk to the health and wellbeing of people living in regional, rural and remote communities, through more frequent severe weather events, longer droughts and changes in rainfall patterns.
