Sentences with phrase «wetting precipitation event»

Nature paper As a consequence, a 25 % to 100 % increase in extreme dry - to - wet precipitation events is projected, despite only modest changes in mean precipitation.

Not exact matches

Daniel Swain and colleagues model how the frequency of these rapid, year - to - year transitions from extreme dry to wet conditions — which they dub «precipitation whiplash events» — may change in California's future as a consequence of man - made warming.

Another aspect of this phenomenon is that in a warmer, wetter world a larger proportion of the precipitation falls in extreme events.

The pattern of change for the wettest day of the year is projected to roughly follow that of the average precipitation, with both increases and decreases across the U.S. Extreme hydrologic events are projected to increase over most of the U.S.

Such events are consistent with observations and projections of wetter springs and more intense precipitation events (see Figure 18.6).

On extreme precipitation events over mid-latitude landmass and wet tropical regions becoming more intense and frequent, the CLAs clarified that the assessment was based on more than the RCPs, and that the conclusion was generally true for all these regions.

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 (Ch.

Wet - day percentiles are conditionally computed for the subset of wet events (with precipitation exceeding some threshold, e.g. 1 mm / d for daily precipitatioWet - day percentiles are conditionally computed for the subset of wet events (with precipitation exceeding some threshold, e.g. 1 mm / d for daily precipitatiowet events (with precipitation exceeding some threshold, e.g. 1 mm / d for daily precipitation).

Global precipitation will increase, and the heaviest precipitation events are intensifying [1], but with regional differences: Wet regions such as the tropical rainforests will become rainier while semi-arid regions of the subtropics expand and become drier.

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 runoff.

In addition, the probability of a — 1.5 SD precipitation anomaly increases in spring (P < 0.001) and autumn (P = 0.01) in 2006 — 2080 relative to 1920 — 2005, with spring occurrence increasing by ∼ 75 % and autumn occurrence increasing by ∼ 44 % — which represents a substantial and statistically significant increase in the risk of extremely low - precipitation events at both margins of California's wet season.

Indicators based on daily precipitation data show more mixed patterns of change but significant increases have been seen in the extreme amount derived from wet spells and number of heavy rainfall events.

A large ensemble of climate model simulations suggests that the frequency of extreme wet - to - dry precipitation events will increase by 25 % to 100 % across California due to anthropogenic forcing.
