Atmospheric rivers have a central role in the global water cycle. On any given day, atmospheric rivers account for over 90% of the global meridional (north-south) water vapor transport, yet they cover less than 10% of any given extratropical line of latitude. [4] Atmospheric rivers are also known to contribute to about 22% of total global ...
A USGS model image shows the enormous atmospheric river that may have been present during the 1861–1862 flood event.. The ARkStorm (for Atmospheric River 1,000) is a hypothetical megastorm, whose proposal is based on repeated historical occurrences of atmospheric rivers and other major rain events first developed and published by the Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project (MHDP) of the United ...
These effects of climate change endanger food security, freshwater access and global health. Climate change can be limited by using low-carbon energy sources such as wind and solar energy, by forestation, and shifts in agriculture. Adaptations such as coastline protection cannot by themselves avert the risk of severe, pervasive and irreversible ...
Project Drawdown is a climate change mitigation project initiated by Paul Hawken and climate activist Amanda Joy Ravenhill. The Project Drawdown website includes video lessons [3] that explain the analysis and insights behind the efforts and research that make up the science behind the project. The list, which encompasses only technologically ...
A navbox on climate change Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status (text) 1 Will expand a single section where appropriate Default all sections collapsed String optional (text) expanded Will expand a single section where appropriate Default all sections collapsed String optional (text) state Determines whether the navbox should be collapsed, expanded or ...
Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) is a standard experimental protocol for global atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). It provides a community-based infrastructure in support of climate model diagnosis, validation, intercomparison, documentation and data access. Virtually the entire international climate modeling ...
Please feel free to put the e {{climate-change-stub}} template onto any article that should be in the category. I am thinking 'Atmospheric science stubs' should be a sub category of Climate Change stubs rather than the other way around as it has been set up. crandles 19:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
A related project is the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) for global coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs). Coupled models are computer-based models of the Earth's climate, in which different parts (such as atmosphere, oceans, land, ice) are "coupled" together, and interact in simulations. [1]
