Precipitation Changes Linked To Global Warming
2013-11-12 13:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: According to Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady, the rain in Spain lies mainly on the plain. However, according to a new study from the scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the location and intensity of rain is changing around the globe, not only in Spain. The study, published in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that observed changes in global (ocean and land) precipitation are directly affected by human activities and...

A warming world will further intensify extreme precipitation events, research shows
2013-04-09 01:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: According to a newly-published NOAA-led study in Geophysical Research Letters, as the globe warms from rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, more moisture in a warmer atmosphere will make the most extreme precipitation events more intense. The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the North Carolina State University's Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites-North Carolina (CICS-NC), NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), the Desert Research Institute, University...
