AbstractA simulation of projected changes in summer (June to August)
precipitation from the period 1961 to 1990 to the period 2040 to 2060 for Canadian
lands is shown here. Projected precipitation changes would not be evenly
distributed geographically. Summer patterns show regions with both increases
and decreases in precipitation. Warmer surface temperature would speed up the
hydrological cycle at least partially, resulting in faster evaporation and more
precipitation. The results are based on climate change simulations made
with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.
