Detection of human influence on twentieth-century precipitation trends
Article Abstract:
The changes observed in land precipitation during the twentieth century averaged over latitudinal bands are compared. It is shown that anthropogenic forcing has a detectable affect on the changes in average precipitation within latitudinal bands and might have significant effects on ecosystems, agriculture and human health in regions that are sensitive to changes in precipitation.
