The Impacts of Climate Change on the Hydrological Cycle and Water Resource Management
Xiuquan Wang, Lirong Liu
Abstract
Global warming can alter the hydrological cycle in various forms such as increased cloudiness and latent heat fluxes, leading to more intensive and frequent precipitation extreme events (e.g., droughts, storms, and floods). [...]
