Changes in the variability of global land precipitation
[1] In our warming climate there is a general expectation that the variability of precipitation (P) will increase at daily, monthly and inter-annual timescales. Here we analyse observations of monthly P (1940–2009) over the global land surface using a new theoretical framework that can distinguish changes in global P variance between space and time. We report a near-zero temporal trend in globa...
متن کاملGlobal column‐averaged methane mixing ratios from 2003 to 2009 as derived from SCIAMACHY: Trends and variability
[1] After a decade of stable or slightly decreasing global methane concentrations, ground‐based in situ data show that CH4 began increasing again in 2007 and that this increase continued through 2009. So far, space‐based retrievals sensitive to the lower troposphere in the time period under consideration have not been available. Here we report a long‐term data set of column‐averaged methane mix...
متن کاملDetection-attribution of global warming at the regional scale: How to deal with precipitation variability?
[1] Given the strong natural variability of precipitation, detection of anthropogenic climate change has been mainly based on surface thermal indicators. It is here argued that precipitation variability, whatever its natural or anthropogenic origin, is likely to affect surface temperature and, thereby, to hamper the detection-attribution of climate change at the regional scale. This issue is il...
متن کاملGlobal variability of precipitation according to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission
[1] Numerous studies have documented the effect of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on rainfall in many regions of the globe. The question of whether ENSO is the single most important factor in interannual rainfall variability has received less attention, mostly because the kind of data that would be required to make such an assessment were simply not available. Until 1979 the evidence linki...
متن کاملClimate Change Impact on Precipitation Extreme Events in Uncertainty Situation; Passing from Global Scale to Regional Scale
Global warming and then climate change are important topics studied by researchers throughout the world in the recent decades. In these studies, climatic parameters changes are investigated. Considering large-scaled output of AOGCMs and low precision in computational cells, uncertainty analysis is one of the principles in doing hydrological studies. For this reason, it is tried that investigati...
