AbstractA simulation of projected changes in winter (December to February)
precipitation from the period 1961 to 1990 to the period 2040 to 2060 for Canadian
lands is shown here. In general, precipitation would increase as the century
progresses and the climate warms. Projected precipitation changes are not evenly
distributed geographically or seasonally. Precipitation is projected to decrease
slightly for some higher latitude regions. 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.
