Results of observations of groundwater table in Roztocze are presented. Four types of fluctuation are distinguished. Most common and typical is the first one, dependent on annual hydrological cycle. The second type with amplitudes to 6 m depends on many years' cycle and is accompanied with insignificant influence of annual hydrological cycle. Correspondence of water table to groundwater runoffw...

A global ocean general circulation model (GCM) with idealized geometry (two basins of equal size, Marotzke and Willebrand, 1991) is coupled to an energy balance atmospheric model with nonlinear parameterizations of meridional atmospheric transports of heat and moisture. With the coupled model that prescribes the atmospheric heat and moisture transports, the North Atlantic meridional mass overtu...

Human activities are releasing tiny particles (aerosols) into the atmosphere. These human-made aerosols enhance scattering and absorption of solar radiation. They also produce brighter clouds that are less efficient at releasing precipitation. These in turn lead to large reductions in the amount of solar irradiance reaching Earth's surface, a corresponding increase in solar heating of the atmos...

The water cycle shows the continuous and complex movement of within earth atmosphere in which moves from land ocean surface to back form precipitation [...]

In recent years, forest fires frequency and intensity has increased, causing a new awareness about their impact not only on vegetation, but also on hydrological regime. Changes in vegetation influence the processes of interception and evapotranspiration, seriously affecting the hydrological cycle. Forest fires can also affect hydrological processes indirectly, altering the hydraulic properties ...

Greenhouse gas cycling is an important component of earth system models that are used to project our future climate. Major physical, chemical and biological processes and controls of greenhouse gas cycling are often incorporated into biogeochemistry models of these gases. In particular, the hydrological cycle has long been linked to these models. However, more adequate hydrological models are s...

[1] Current studies of the impact of climate change mitigation options tend to scale patterns of precipitation change linearly with surface temperature. Using climate model simulations, we show a nonlinear hydrological response to transient global warming and a substantial side effect of climate mitigation. In an idealised representation of mitigation action, where we reverse the trend of globa...

Water storage change has implications not only for the hydrological cycle, but also for sustainable water resource management in especially semi-arid river basins. Satellite/remote sensing techniques have gained increasing application in monitoring basin and regional hydrological processes in recent decades. In this study, the latest version of GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) is...
