Fast and slow precipitation responses to individual climate forcers: A PDRMIP multimodel study (2016, methodology): “through energy balance analyses [Allen and Ingram, 2002; O’Gorman et al., 2012], future precipitation changes are poorly constrained in state of the art climate models [Collins et al.”
The effect of volcanic eruptions on global precipitation (2013, background): “A cooler atmosphere following eruptions undergoes less radiative cooling to space and experiences less condensation and precipitation [O’Gorman et al., 2012].”
The Atmospheric Energy Constraint on Global-Mean Precipitation Change (2014, methodology): “We expect that the underlying principles of this framework should extend to other forcings including aerosols and non-CO2 greenhouse gases as well [as in Kvalev ag et al. (2013)].”
Physically Consistent Responses of the Global Atmospheric Hydrological Cycle in Models and Observations (2014, background): “Global mean precipitation response, DP, is determined by a ‘‘slow’’ component set by the global mean surface temperature change, DT , (denoted slow since it takes a long time to heat up the oceans due to their dominating heat capacity) and a ‘‘fast’’ component (fDF) in which the atmosphere (with its”
