The aim of rainfall climatology is to measure, understand and predict rain distribution across different regions of planet Earth, a factor of air pressure, humidity, topography, cloud type and raindrop size, via direct measurement and remote sensing data acquisition.
· Earth’s rainy days are changing and plant life is responding. This visualization shows averageprecipitation for the entire globe based on more than 20 years of data from 2000 to 2023. Cooler colors indicate areas that receive less rain. Warm colors receive more rain.
One thing is clear: catastrophic climate change is man-made. 98 percent of the scientists who studyclimate issues agree. Because the climate is a highly complex system, researchers are constantly discovering new relationships, interpreting data in different ways and revising forecasts.
· Explore the defining characteristic of tropicalrainforests: abundant rainfall. Understand its unique patterns, scientific origins, and ecological impact.
· Explore how rainforests influence globalweatherpatterns, impacting climate regulation, biodiversity, and ecological balance essential for our planet's health.
· This visualization shows averageprecipitation for the entire globe based on more than 20 years of data from 2000 to 2023. Cooler colors indicate areas that receive less rain.
· As we explore further, we will uncover the evidence of how rainforest rainfall impacts globalweatherpatterns, revealing the broader implications of these ecosystems.
