Deforestation in the Amazon will cause precipitation in Britain
2014-12-18 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: Britains wet weather could be made worse by deforestation in the Amazon, according to a new report into the effect of the loss of vast tracts of rainforest on the worlds climate. It has long been known that the loss of rainforest accelerates global warming because trees suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and turn it into oxygen and when they are felled, the stored carbon is released. Now new research from the University of Virginia argues that trees are not only the lungs of the...

NASA releases blizzard of precipitation data
2014-09-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Have you been itching to see the most detailed collection of precipitation data ever pulled together? (Join the club.) Well, you're in luck. NASA has just released a vast trove of snow, rain, hail and more liquid measurements from a satellite launched earlier this year. In late February, NASA and an international cohort of space programs launched the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory (or GPM for short), the centerpiece of a constellation of satellites watching precipitation around...

Effect of important air pollutants may be absent from key precipitation observations
2014-03-31 21:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Pioneering new research from the University of Exeter could have a major impact on climate and environmental science by drastically transforming the perceived reliability of key observations of precipitation, which includes rain, sleet and snow. The ground breaking study examines the effect that increased aerosol concentrations in the atmosphere, emitted as a result of burning fossil fuels, had on regional temperature and precipitation levels. Scientists from Exeter's Mathematics department...
