Climate change is one of the most severe threats to global lake ecosystems. Lake surface
conditions, such as ice cover, surface temperature, evaporation and water level, respond …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Both seasonal and annual mean precipitation and evaporation influence patterns of water
availability impacting society and ecosystems. Existing global climate studies rarely consider …

Investigation of the pressing impacts of climate change on drought is vital for sustainable
societal and ecosystem functioning. The magnitude of how much the drought will change …

Intensification of the hydrological cycle is expected to accompany a warming climate,. It has
been suggested that changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation will amplify …

The geography and timing of changes in water availability under climate change are of
considerable societal interest. Characterizing these changes in a robust and meaningful …

Abstract Changes in the hydrological conditions of the land surface have substantial impacts
on society,. Yet assessments of observed continental dryness trends yield contradicting …

Based on the Gini-coefficients, this study has presented an analysis of the impacts of
anthropogenic forcing on the temporal inequality (ie, increase in unevenness or disparity) of …
