Zusammenfassung: | "Climate theory dictates that core elements of the climate system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and reservoirs of atmospheric and soil moisture, should change as the climate warms, both in their means and extremes. A major challenge that faces the climate and hydrologic science communities is understanding the nature of these ongoing changes in climate and hydrology and the apparent anomalies that exist in reconciling their extreme manifestations. The National Research Council (NRC) Committee on Hydrologic Science (COHS) held a workshop on January 5-6, 2010, that examined how climate warming translates into hydrologic extremes like floods and droughts. The workshop brought together three groups of experts. The first two groups consisted of atmospheric scientists and hydrologists focused on the scientific underpinnings and empirical evidence linking climate variability to hydrologic extremes. The third group consisted of water managers and decision-makers charged with the design and operation of water systems that in the future must be made resilient in light of a changing climate and an environment of hydrologic extremes. Global Change and Extreme Hydrology summarizes the proceedings of this workshop. This report presents an overview of the current state of the science in terms of climate change and extreme hydrologic events. It examines the "conventional wisdom" that climate change will "accelerate" the hydrologic cycle, fuel more evaporation, and generate more precipitation, based on an increased capacity of a warmer atmosphere to hold more water vapor. The report also includes descriptions of the changes in frequency and severity of extremes, the ability (or inability) to model these changes, and the problem of communicating the best science to water resources practitioners in useful forums"--Publisher's website. |

It examines the "conventional wisdom" that climate change will "accelerate" the hydrologic cycle, fuel more evaporation, and generate more precipitation, based on an increased capacity of a warmer atmosphere to hold more water vapor. The report also includes descriptions of the changes in frequency and severity of extremes, the ability (or inability) to model these changes, and the problem of communicating the best science to water resources practitioners in useful forums"--Publisher's website.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="t">Introduction --</subfield><subfield code="t">Findings --</subfield><subfield code="t">References --</subfield><subfield code="t">Appendixes --</subfield><subfield code="g">A --</subfield><subfield code="t">Statement of Task --</subfield><subfield code="g">B --</subfield><subfield code="t">Agenda --</subfield><subfield code="g">C --</subfield><subfield code="t">Speaker Abstracts --</subfield><subfield code="g">D --</subfield><subfield code="t">Summary of Presentations --</subfield><subfield code="g">E --</subfield><subfield code="t">Workshop Participants.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="500" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Title from title screen (viewed Dec. 21, 2011).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Global environmental change.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh96001848</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Hydrologic cycle.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85063450</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Changement global (Environnement)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Climat</subfield><subfield code="x">Changements.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Cycle hydrologique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">climate change.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BUSINESS & ECONOMICS</subfield><subfield code="x">Real Estate</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Climatic changes</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Global environmental change</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Hydrologic cycle</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="710" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">National Research Council (U.S.).</subfield><subfield code="b">Committee on Hydrologic Science.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00012921</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Global change and extreme hydrology.</subfield><subfield code="d">Washington, D.C. : National Academies Press, 2011</subfield><subfield code="z">0309217687</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)753637346</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=414571</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Askews and Holts Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">ASKH</subfield><subfield code="n">AH36617452</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Askews and Holts Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">ASKH</subfield><subfield code="n">AH36559648</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Coutts Information Services</subfield><subfield code="b">COUT</subfield><subfield code="n">20441797</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBL -

"Climate theory dictates that core elements of the climate system, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and reservoirs of atmospheric and soil moisture, should change as the climate warms, both in their means and extremes. A major challenge that faces the climate and hydrologic science communities is understanding the nature of these ongoing changes in climate and hydrology and the apparent anomalies that exist in reconciling their extreme manifestations. The National Research Council (NRC) Committee on Hydrologic Science (COHS) held a workshop on January 5-6, 2010, that examined how climate warming translates into hydrologic extremes like floods and droughts. The workshop brought together three groups of experts. The first two groups consisted of atmospheric scientists and hydrologists focused on the scientific underpinnings and empirical evidence linking climate variability to hydrologic extremes. The third group consisted of water managers and decision-makers charged with the design and operation of water systems that in the future must be made resilient in light of a changing climate and an environment of hydrologic extremes. Global Change and Extreme Hydrology summarizes the proceedings of this workshop. This report presents an overview of the current state of the science in terms of climate change and extreme hydrologic events. It examines the "conventional wisdom" that climate change will "accelerate" the hydrologic cycle, fuel more evaporation, and generate more precipitation, based on an increased capacity of a warmer atmosphere to hold more water vapor. The report also includes descriptions of the changes in frequency and severity of extremes, the ability (or inability) to model these changes, and the problem of communicating the best science to water resources practitioners in useful forums"--Publisher's website.
