Global Mean Changes in Surface Temperature (°C) and Precipitation / Evaporation (%) ∆T s G ∆Precip. = ∆Evap ºC +5.3% 4xC+5.5 ºC +12.7%

Atmospheric Circulation

Soil Moisture Change (in percent) = [(W after – W before ) / W before ] x 100 W before : soil moisture before global warming W after : soil moisture after global warming

% change in Annual Mean Soil Moisture

% Change in Seasonal Mean Soil Moisture, 4xC

Summary Water-Rich Regions: Increased Water Availability (e.g., River Discharge) Increased Frequency of Intense Flood Water-Poor Regions: Increased Frequency of Drought Gradual Outward Expansion of Desert  Enhance the Existing Contrast between Water-Rich and Water-Poor Region of the World

Rainfall Intensity versus Frequency

Observation and Adaptation Monitoring of Global Water Cycle Improved Water Resource Management

Long-Term, Global Monitoring 1. Distribution of (a) Precipitation (histogram of intensity) (b) Snow Cover, Glacier & Ice Sheets (c) Soil Moisture (d) Vegetation & Permafrost 2. Rate of river discharge Through in-situ and satellite observation (e.g., visible, microwave, long-wave radiation, etc)

Signal-to-Noise Ratio S / N = ∆ / σ ∆ ; Change due to Global Warming σ ; Standard Deviation: Natural Variability S/N (Rainfall) >> S/N (Temperature)
