water -
balance model indicates that an estimated 270,000 km2 of forest became vulnerable to fire in the 1998 dry season.
This was predicted by the early Manabe
models because greater polar warming and greater global
water vapor reduces baroclinicity and the motions necessary to restore
balance.
The revised
model represented statistical relationships between annual runoff and winter precipitation, forest basal area reductions and time since treatment, but these relationships were not necessarily related to physical processes or functions that control
water balance [20].

The identified atmospheric feedbacks including changes in planetary albedo, in
water vapour distribution and in meridional latent heat transport are all poorly represented in zonal energy
balance model as the one used in [7] whereas they appear to be of primary importance when focusing on ancient greenhouse climates.

The simplicity of the PDSI, which is calculated from a simple
water -
balance model forced by monthly precipitation and temperature data, makes it an attractive tool in large - scale drought assessments, but may give biased results in the context of climate change6.

The basic results of this climate
model analysis are that: (1) it is increase in atmospheric CO2 (and the other minor non-condensing greenhouse gases) that control the greenhouse warming of the climate system; (2)
water vapor and clouds are feedback effects that magnify the strength of the greenhouse effect due to the non-condensing greenhouse gases by about a factor of three; (3) the large heat capacity of the ocean and the rate of heat transport into the ocean sets the time scale for the climate system to approach energy
balance equilibrium.
