This article encourages U.S. citizens to recognize that weather is a powerful entity that has only begun to barge into the American way of life. This recognition has been missing from the recent news coverage in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina's and Rita. While the media discusses global...
- A Simple Equation for Regional Climate Change and Associated Uncertainty. Giorgi, Filippo // Journal of Climate;Apr2008, Vol. 21 Issue 7, p1589
Simple equations are developed to express regional climate changes for the twenty-first century and associated uncertainty in terms of the global temperature change (GTC) without a dependence on the underlying emission pathways. The equations are applied to regional temperature and precipitation...
