The Atmospheric Energy Constraint on Global-Mean Precipitation Change
- States that models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) robustly predict that the rate of increase in global-mean precipitation with global-mean surface temperature increase is much less than the rate of increase of water vapor
- Explains in detail the mechanisms by which precipitation increase is constrained by radiative cooling
