But, he added, it would be "exceptional to see two such years after each other, but the weather is governed by natural variability and you can't draw any conclusions about one year from the previous one".
The average values of ratio of Ca/Na (0.72), Mg/Na (1.15), and HCO3/Na (3.84) indicated that silicate weathering primarily governs water chemistry (Negrel et al. 1993) followed by carbonate weathering as represented by high average value (5.82) of (Ca + Mg)/(Na + K) ratio.
Low flow conditions are governed by short-to-medium term weather conditions or long term climate conditions.
The spatial pattern of Tmrt in the study area during warm and clear weather is primarily governed by the shadow patterns of buildings and vegetation.
The eroded scar surface is slow to re-vegetate (often ≥10 years), and the rate of recovery is influenced by factors such as lithology, weathering rate (governing release of nutrients), fertility, water holding capacity, and climatic conditions (Blaschke et al. [2000]).
Then he went to work trying to solve the equations that governed the weather in each square and how they might affect weather in the adjacent ones.
In this catchment, the length of the build-up period, the event duration and the number of gauges undergoing at least a 10-year flood are governed by weather patterns.
Sunseekers in the Western Isles may be happier than normal, but the jet stream that governs weather patterns over the Atlantic is not being kind to much of the rest of Britain.
The data showed that the gaseous mercury clouds were following exactly the same kind of dynamics that govern weather on Earth and on the solar system's gas-giant planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, the team reported online Sunday in Nature Physics.
Climate change is a slow steady rewriting of the rules that govern weather, bit by bit.
