Excessive rainfall impact on corn pollination
2015-07-22 22:34:00| Corn & Soybean Digest
Source: Ohio State University One of the concerns some growers have is that persistent rains will wash pollen off the silks before fertilization occurs. However, pollen shed is not a continuous process. It stops when the tassel is too wet or too dry and begins again when temperature conditions are favorable. read more

Greenland ice sheet melting more rapidly from impact of rainfall
2015-07-17 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: According to a new study published in Nature Geoscience, the Greenland ice sheet has been shown to accelerate in response to surface rainfall and melt associated with late-summer and autumnal cyclonic weather events. Samuel Doyle and an international team of colleagues led from Aberystwyth University's Centre for Glaciology combined records of ice motion, water pressure at the ice sheet bed, and river discharge with surface meteorology across the western margin of the Greenland ice sheet and captured...
Record torrential rainfall linked warming climate
2015-07-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: If you think youre getting an unusually hard soaking more often when you go out in the rain, youre probably right. A team of scientists in Germany says record-breaking heavy rainfall has been increasing strikingly in the last 30 years as global temperatures increase. Before 1980, they say, the explanation was fluctuations in natural variability. But since then they have detected a clear upward trend in downpours that is consistent with a warming world. The scientists, from the Potsdam Institute...

Record-breaking heavy rainfall increased under global warming
2015-07-08 17:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Heavy rainfall events setting ever new records have been increasing strikingly in the past thirty years. While before 1980, multi-decadal fluctuations in extreme rainfall events are explained by natural variability, a team of scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research detected a clear upward trend in the past few decades towards more unprecedented daily rainfall events. They find the worldwide increase to be consistent with rising global temperatures which are caused by greenhouse-gas...

National Public Radio: Severe storms are creating massive flooding in Texas, Oklahoma and throughout the Great Plains. Meteorologists say this downpour most likely ended the years long drought for that portion of the West but it comes at a high cost.
