Sentence examples for changes to precipitation from inspiring English sources
In addition to changes in air temperature, climate change involves changes to precipitation patterns, winds, ocean currents, and other measures of Earth's climate.
Results have been investigated as changes to precipitation intensity duration frequency (IDF) relationships.
In this approach, the ESP concept is first used to predict the seasonal changes to precipitation and soil moisture.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2014) finds that weather in the Sahel will continue to be variable with high confidence that temperatures will increase and low confidence that there will be changes to precipitation levels (IPCC 2014).
However, the actual realized value of cattail harvest allows the farmer to invest in retention basin and irrigation infrastructure enabling crop production stabilization and risk reduction in the face of predicted changes to precipitation and temperature in the future (Hassanzadeh et al. 2014; Pittman et al. 2011).
Seasonally, there are slight changes to precipitation distribution through the year.
The results indicate that glacier melt was more sensitive to temperature change than to precipitation change, implying that modeling the effects of climate change with increasing temperatures and decreasing precipitation should be further studied.
Regional climate models for the next few decades are predicting changes to seasonal precipitation distribution and a summer rainfall decrease of 10-30% (Cubasch and Kadow [2011]; Schaller [2011]).
The reason for those glaciers' deviation from the global trend has to do with localized changes to winter precipitation — snowfall, essentially, helps the glaciers stay stable or grow.
