Ocean–atmosphere interactions modulate irrigation's climate impacts

Climate Change and Economic Growth: Impacts and Interactions

An integrated assessment model (ENVISAGE), including a CGE-based economic module and a climate module, is used to assess the effects of a variety of economic impacts induced by climate change. These impacts include: sea level rise, variations in crop yields, water availability, human health, tourism, energy demand. Two scenarios are compared: a baseline growth path, disregarding any climate cha...

Climate Change, Climate Modes, and Climate Impacts

■ Abstract Variability of the atmospheric and oceanic circulations in the earth system gives rise to an array of naturally occurring dynamical modes. Instead of being spatially independent or spatially uniform, climate variability in different parts of the globe is orchestrated by one or a combination of several climate modes, and global changes take place with a distinctive spatial pattern res...

To speak of air “holding” water vapour is to speak loosely. The partial pressure of water vapour in equilibrium with a solid or liquid body of water is described by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and is independent of the ...
