Sentence examples for rainfall sensitivity from inspiring English sources
The IPCC describes vulnerability to climate change as being determined by three factors: exposure to hazards (such as reduced rainfall), sensitivity to those hazards (such as an economy dominated by rain-fed agriculture), and the capacity to adapt to those hazards (for example, whether farmers have the money or skills to grow more drought-resistant crops).
A positive or negative SST anomaly generally corresponded to positive or negative rainfall sensitivity, respectively.
A detailed description of the process underlying rainfall sensitivity to changes in SST is given in the "Discussion" section.
The dashed line in the scatter plot indicates the linear relationship between SST anomaly and rainfall sensitivity estimated using the Theil Sen method.
Positive rainfall sensitivity to 1 K SST warming was noted over the whole calculation domain (Fig. 5), which can be explained by the increase in latent heat flux due to the increase in SST.
To understand the interannual relationship between SST and rainfall over and around the Philippines, we examined the time series of the SST anomaly over the WSST region and rainfall sensitivity (CTL − CLM) over the WPH region for June, July, and August (Fig. 6).
The electrical resistivity distributions recovered from cross-well and surface ERT data agrees well, and both of these datasets can be used to interpret spatiotemporal variations in subsurface nitrate concentrations due to rainfall, although the sensitivity of the electrical resistivity response to dilution varies with nitrate concentration.
The sensitivity of rainfall to SST was defined as the difference between the CTL and CLM experiments.
NDVIcorr is used here, and not NDVIdif, as the goal is to see how vegetation recovers to its pre-eruption state, including its sensitivity to rainfall variation.
This relationship is evident in the scatter plots (Fig. 6d f), which clearly show that the sensitivity of rainfall in the WPH region increased with SST in the WSST region.
The difference between these two simulation sets is analyzed to determine the sensitivity of rainfall to interannual variations in local SST, not remote SST, via a regional climate model.
