regional and global impacts on climate1,2,3. Where these patterns reoccur over time, they are typically described as modes of variability (MoV)4. Prominent MoV include the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), characterised by large changes in the upper ...
Ultra-high-resolution is found to be crucial not only for realistic mean summer monsoon simulation, but for achieving useful future projections of Indian monsoon and extremes. At lower resolution, the simulations fail to capture the observed characteristics of present-day monsoon rainfall and its ...
On the west coast, it does not matter too much and rainy periods do not tend to last long or cause too many problems. On the east coast, however, it is a different story and many of the islands basically shut down in the monsoon period so it is best to avoid this area then. Other...
The linkage of cloud-radiation interaction with a better Indian summer monsoon (ISM) rainfall simulation has also been investigated. Two simulations were performed with Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2), one with default revised simplified Arakawa-Schubert (RSAS) convection scheme and another ...
Major results show that the North Atlantic SST anomalies strongly affect the Tibetan Plateau surface temperature and heat sources. The latter cause changes in the meridional temperature gradient between Tibetan Plateau and the tropical Indian Ocean. Through the thermal wind effect, the meridional ...
3.2.1. Understanding How Climate Warming Will Affect Sensitive Alpine Habitat: An Austral Perspective Although the alpine biome is represented across all continents and latitudes [116], it only covers about 3% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface outside Antarctica [117]. Since 2001, the Global Ob...
However, both approaches quantify the impact on the supply side, assuming that either reduction or increment in food production causes food security and does not account for the demand side. Indeed, the increment in agricultural production as a result of climate change would not mean better food ...
