How will Mahanarva spectabilis (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) Respond to Global Warming?
The aim of this study was to determine the favorable constant temperature range for Mahanarva spectabilis(Distant) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) development as well as to generate geographic distribution maps of this insect pest for future climate scenarios. M. spectabilis eggs were reared on two host plants (Brachiaria ruziziensis(Germain and Edvard) and Pennisetum purpureum(Schumach)), with individ...
متن کاملHow Much Will Precipitation Increase With Global Warming?
during the 1970s made possible the observation of the seasonally shifting patterns of global precipitation. It was not until recently, however, that the record could be considered long enough to investigate longer-term trends and the relationship between global precipitation and global warming. Using data from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) instrument, Wentz et al. [2007] reported ...
متن کاملThe Response of Orographic Precipitation over Idealized Midlatitude Mountains Due to Global Increases in CO2
The sensitivity of stratiform midlatitude orographic precipitation to global mean temperature is investigated through numerical simulations. As a step toward understanding the relative influence of thermodynamic and dynamical processes on orographic precipitation, simple idealizations of Earth’s major north–south mountain chains are considered. The individual terrain elements occupy four island...
متن کاملOrographic Precipitation
■ Abstract The influence of surface orography on patterns of precipitation gives rise to some of the most pronounced climate gradients on Earth, and plays a fundamental role in the interaction between the atmosphere and the rest of the Earth System on a wide variety of time scales. The physical mechanisms involved comprise a rich set of interactions encompassing fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, ...
متن کاملEstimating the Response of Mid - latitude Orographic 1 Precipitation to Global Warming
5 The sensitivity of stratiform mid-latitude orographic precipitation to global mean temper6 ature is investigated through numerical simulations with a general circulation model. The 7 individual terrain elements are idealizations of the Earth’s major north-south mountain 8 chains and occupy four islands equally spaced around the northern hemisphere of a planet 9 otherwise covered by ocean. Pre...
