Contrasting fast precipitation responses to tropospheric and stratospheric ozone forcing
The precipitation response to radiative forcing (RF) can be decomposed into a fast precipitation response (FPR), which depends on the atmospheric component of RF, and a slow response, which depends on surface temperature change. We present the first detailed climate model study of the FPR due to tropospheric and stratospheric ozone changes. The FPR depends strongly on the altitude of ozone chan...
متن کاملNonlinear responses of land ecosystems to variation in precipitation.
As global change induces more and more extreme climate events (Field et al., 2012), temporal variability in precipitation is likely becoming larger than ever. How land ecosystems respond to the stronger temporal variability in precipitation is a new frontier research area for ecologists (Reichstein et al., 2013; Niu et al., 2014). In this issue of New Phytologist Knapp et al. (pp. 41–47) frame ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Health Professional Responses to Service Disinvestment: A Qualitative Study
Background Disinvestment from inefficient health services may be a potential solution to rising healthcare costs, but there has been poor uptake of disinvestment recommendations. This Australian study aims to understand how health professionals react when confronted with a plan to disinvest from a health service they previously provided to their patients. Methods This ...
متن کاملThe Tropical Precipitation Response to Orbital Precession
Orbital precession changes the seasonal distribution of insolation at a given latitude but not the annual mean. Hence, the correlation of paleoclimate proxies of annual-mean precipitation with orbital precession implies a nonlinear rectification in the precipitation response to seasonal solar forcing. It has previously been suggested that the relevant nonlinearity is that of the Clausius–Clapey...
متن کاملReduction of tropical land region precipitation variability 2 via transpiration
7 [1] Tropical rainforests are known to exhibit low intrasea8 sonal precipitation variability compared with oceanic areas 9 with similar mean precipitation in observations and models. 10 In the present study, the potential role of transpiration for 11 this difference in precipitation variability is investigated 12 using the National Center for Atmospheric Research 13 (NCAR) atmospheric general ...
