This evidence is documented in the preceding sections of this chapter, including for near surface temperatures (Section 10.3.1.1), free atmosphere temperatures (Section 10.3.1.2), atmospheric moisture content (Section 10.3.2.1), precipitation over land Location (Section 10.3.2.2), ocean heat content (Section 10.4.1), ocean salinity (Section 10.4.2), sea level (Section 10.4.3), Arctic sea ice (Section 10.5.1), climate extremes (Section 10.6) and evidence from the last millenium (Section 10.7). [ WG1AR5LQ 0 MCLH 24/03/2014 ] By 2090, precipitation over most of Canada and northern Eurasia Location increases by 10 - 20 % , although in some regions, like northern Greenland and northern Siberia (which currently receive very little precipitation), it increases by up to 50 % . [ 1CANADACCD 0 MCLH 24/03/2014 ] For instance, evidence is most compelling for increases in heavy Degree precipitation in North America, Central America and Europe Location , but in some other regionsÑsuch as southern Australia and western AsiaÑthere is evidence of decreases. [ WG1AR5BS 0 MCLH 24/03/2014 ] Anthropogenic influences have contributed to observed increases in atmospheric moisture content in the atmosphere (medium confidence), to globalscale changes in precipitation patterns over land (medium confidence), to intensification of heavy Expanse precipitation over land regions where data are sufficient Location (medium confidence), and to changes in surface and sub-surface ocean salinity (very likely).

• The increases in total tropospheric water vapour in the last 25 years are qualitatively consistent with increases in tropospheric temperatures and an enhanced hydrologic cycle, resulting in more extreme and heavier precipitation events in many areas with increasing precipitation, e.g., middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

• Recent climate change may be studied by analysing instrumental records of common climate elements such as temperature, precipitation (rain, snow and hail), humidity, wind, sunshine and atmospheric pressure, which have been obtained with standard equipment.
