Sentences with phrase «seasonal change in the region»

Not exact matches

Furthermore, it had been proposed that animals and plants in the polar regions would have been more resilient to global climatic changes associated with an asteroid impact as a result of living in environments that were always strongly seasonal.

Although tropical regions vary considerably, they are «typically warm and experience little seasonal change in daily temperatures.»

Seasonal patterns always change in the country though and even vary among different regions, but December to February is the safe answer.

For one, the warming may not necessarily be global such that some regions may not face appreciable change in seasonal temperatures while others may be significantly warmer.

For the first time, researchers have been able to combine different climate models using spatial statistics — to project future seasonal temperature changes in regions across North America.

For the entire Northern Hemisphere, there is evidence of an increase in both storm frequency and intensity during the cold season since 1950,1 with storm tracks having shifted slightly towards the poles.2, 3 Extremely heavy snowstorms increased in number during the last century in northern and eastern parts of the United States, but have been less frequent since 2000.11,15 Total seasonal snowfall has generally decreased in southern and some western areas, 16 increased in the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes region, 16,17 and not changed in other areas, such as the Sierra Nevada, although snow is melting earlier in the year and more precipitation is falling as rain versus snow.18 Very snowy winters have generally been decreasing in frequency in most regions over the last 10 to 20 years, although the Northeast has been seeing a normal number of such winters.19 Heavier - than - normal snowfalls recently observed in the Midwest and Northeast U.S. in some years, with little snow in other years, are consistent with indications of increased blocking (a large scale pressure pattern with little or no movement) of the wintertime circulation of the Northern Hemisphere.5 However, conclusions about trends in blocking have been found to depend on the method of analysis, 6 so the assessment and attribution of trends in blocking remains an active research area.

Together, these findings highlight unique seasonal and agricultural region changes in the +1.5 °C and +2.0 °C worlds for adaptation planning in these climate stabilization targets.

Scientists have long warned that the world needs to quickly move away from fossil fuels in order to mitigate global climate change, but governments with stakes in the Arctic have yet to heed these calls: instead they have viewed less seasonal ice due climate change as a chance to exploit the region for more fossil fuels.

Consequently there is a seasonal dependence related to changes in underlying surface conditions, which indroduces uncertainties in some regions in some models (Chapter 10).

The scatter diagrams described and presented on these pages depict projected changes in seasonal surface air temperature and precipitation for three 30 - year periods (2010 - 2039, 2040 - 2069 and 2070 - 2099) relative to the baseline period 1961 - 1990 in 32 sub-continental scale regions (see below).

The tilt of the Earth on its axis also favored increased solar radiation, and helped create seasonal extremes and prime conditions for fire in some parts of the world, increased monsoons (defined) in other regions, and sweeping changes in the biological makeup of the landscape.

AOGCM projections of seasonal changes in (a) mean temperature (previous page) and (b) precipitation up to the end of the 21st century for 32 world regions.

PRUDENCE RCM outputs showed non-linear relationships between mean maximum temperature and indices of drought and heatwave (Good et al., 2006), while changes in maximum 1 - day and 5 - day precipitation amounts were systematically enhanced relative to changes in seasonal mean precipitation across many regions of Europe (Beniston et al., 2007).

Pre-TAR AOGCM results held at the DDC were included in a model intercomparison across the four SRES emissions scenarios (B1, B2, A2, and A1FI) of seasonal mean temperature and precipitation change for thirty - two world regions (Ruosteenoja et al., 2003).9 The inter-model range of changes by the end of the 21st century is summarised in Figure 2.6 for the A2 scenario, expressed as rates of change per century.
