Climate change will affect global water availability through compounding changes in seasonal precipitation and evaporation

摘要

Spatial distribution of precipitation regimes based on the percentile (Pr ) thresholds concept using mean apportionment entropy (AE) and annual precipitation P during the 1971–2000 reference period. Percentage of land occupied by each regime. Precipitation climatology of the spatially aggregated monthly rainfall climatology for regimes H L , H H , L H , L L . These regimes are selected as they represent boundary case scenarios. H, M, and L represent high moderate and low values, respectively.
