Hydrologic sensitivity to CO2-induced global warming

Wetherald, R. T., and S. Manabe, 1990: Hydrologic sensitivity to CO2-induced global warming. Civil Engineering Practice Journal, 5(1), 33-36.
Abstract: The subject of possible hydrologic change in response to a CO2-induced warming of the earth's atmosphere has received increasing attention at various scientific institutions in North America and Europe. Because changes of precipitation and evaporation could have a major impact on various aspects of our environment, scientific investigations have been concentrating upon the geographical details of CO2-induced changes of hydrology. In order to better determine the effects of this warming, global circulation models provide a means of obtaining results that can be employed in the analysis of climatic changes.
