Examples in Context

  1. All global climate models project a global average increase in rainfall as the climate warms.
  2. At the finer spatial scales required for on-the-ground assessments, interpreting output from global climate models is particularly tricky.
  3. Predicting how climate change will affect cyclones is difficult, partly because global climate models are rather crude and have difficulty representing cyclones in their early stages.
  4. He adds that brown carbon both cools the Earth's surface and warms the atmosphere, resulting in a complex role in global warming, hence the necessity to incorporate it into climate models.
  5. Some priorities need more attention in future research of low-flow runoff : ① study investigation of the effects of various global climate change scenarios on low-flow runoff by means of hydrological models;
