Based on global model simulations and for a wide range of
|
|
scenarios, global
average water vapor concentration and
|
|
|
precipitation are projected to increase during the 21st
|
|
|
century.
|
|
|
| q |
By the second half of the 21st century, it is likely that
|
|
|
precipitation will have increased over northern mid- to
|
|
|
high latitudes and Antarctica in winter.
|
|
|
| q |
At low latitudes there are both regional increases and
|
|
|
decreases over land areas.
|
|
|
| q |
Larger year to year variations in precipitation are very
|
|
|
likely over most areas where an increase in mean
|
|
|
precipitation is projected.
