Robust Responses of the Hydrological Cycle to Global Warming
Using the climate change experiments generated for the Fourth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, this study examines some aspects of the changes in the hydrological cycle that are robust across the models. These responses include the decrease in convective mass fluxes, the increase in horizontal moisture transport, the associated enhancement of the pattern of evaporati...
متن کاملThermodynamic and dynamic mechanisms for large-scale changes in the hydrological cycle in response to global warming
The mechanisms of changes in the large scale hydrological cycle projected by 15 models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 3 and used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report Four are analyzed by computing differences between 2046-65 and 1961-2000. The contributions to changes in precipitation minus evaporation, P − E, caused thermodynamically b...
متن کاملThe Change of the Hydrological Cycle under the Influence of Global Warming
The impact of global warming on the water cycle can be extremely complex and diverse. The results of research summarized below illustrate the scale and the geography of the components' possible changes on a global, regional and local level due to global warming. The changes of air temperature, precipitation, river runoff, évapotranspiration and soil moisture are analyzed on different stages of ...
متن کاملChanges in Heat Index Associated with Co2-induced Global Warming
Changes in Heat Index (a combined measure of temperature and humidity) associated with global warming are evaluated based on the output from four extended integrations of the GFDL coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model. The four integrations are: a control with constant levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), a second integration in which an estimate of the combined radiative forcing of gre...
متن کاملGlobal warming and changes in drought
17 How is drought changing as the climate changes? Several recent papers in the scientific literature have focused on this question but the answer remains unclear. Here we attempt to understand this socially and ecologically relevant topic. We discuss what the expectations for changes in drought should be, and thus the prospects for the future, and we provide some recommendations for resolving ...
