Changes in the total amount of precipitation and its frequency and intensity directly affect the magnitude and timing of run-off and the intensity of floods and droughts Patient . [ ENCY 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Both the amount of heat stored in the ocean and the difference in temperature between ocean and land affect the intensity of monsoons Patient . [ AWORLDOFSCIENCE 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

The output of energy from the sun varies slightly from decade to decade, and there is also evidence that solar Patient intensity has increased somewhat over the past 3 centuries. [ 3CANADAENVIRON 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Direct health effects include increases in mortality and illness (predominantly cardio-respiratory) due to an anticipated increase in the intensity and duration of heat waves Patient . [ 13IPCCSTABILISATIONDESGAZ 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Changes in solar Patient intensity and in concentrations of greenhouse gases, for example, have a global effect, whereas changes in aerosol and stratospheric ozone concentrations are more regionalized. [ 1CANADACCD 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Thus, projected increases in tropical cyclone Patient intensity and possible changes in their locations specific frequency, along with sea-level rise, would have major impacts - notably, increased storm-surge heights for a given return period (medium to high confidence). [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

The most widespread serious potential impacts are flooding, landslides, mudslides, and avalanches driven by projected increases in rainfall Patient intensity and sea-level rise. [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Warmer ocean temperatures, changes in storm Patient frequency and intensity and shifts in ocean circulation would also seriously affect coastal ecosystems, including the health of coral reefs and the distribution of fish populations. [ 5CANADAICC 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

An increase in thermohaline overturning Patient intensity results in a smaller deep ocean warming, while a reduction in overturning intensity leads to greater deep ocean warming. [ 10IPCCMODELE 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Hurricane Patient intensity could also be affected by a warmer climate. [ 2CANADACCD9801 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Drier soils can also add to the intensity of daytime temperatures Patient by reducing cooling from surface evaporation. [ 1CANADACCD 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

There appears to be a recent trend towards increased Degree frequency and intensity of disasters related to extreme weather events Patient . [ 6CANADAQFP 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Changes in frequency and intensity of droughts and floods Patient are projected, which could cause significant financial and human loss throughout Europe. [ VULNERABILITY 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Changes in climate will affect coastal systems through sea-level rise and an increase in storm-surge hazards and possible changes in the frequency and/or intensity of extreme events Patient . [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

The impacts- of these projected changes in climate include changes in many aspects of biodiversity and disturbance regimes (e.g., changes in the frequency and intensity of fires, pests, and diseases Patient ). [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Climate change models incorporating hurricanes show an increase in the intensity of hurricanes Patient - but not in their number - as the oceans warm. [ AWORLDOFSCIENCE 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

We know of mechanisms by which global warming could increase the frequency or intensity of severe weather Patient , but other physical processes could also have an important effect on the outcome. [ 2CANADACCD9801 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

A number of other factors, such as changes in the intensity of the sun 's radiation Patient and the thinning of the ozone layer, may also affect the course of future climate change. [ 3CANADAENVIRON 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

Because the intensity of the solar radiation Patient changes with latitude, time of day and seasons, all parts of the planet are not heated equally. [ 5CANADAICC 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]

[Changes] can be caused by natural processes like volcanic eruptions, changes in the sun 's Patient intensity, or very slow changes in ocean circulation or land surfaces which occur on time scales of decades, centuries or longer. [ 6CANADAQFP 0 MCLH 24/06/2014 ]
