Lower Tropospheric Processes: A Control on the Global Mean Precipitation Rate
Abstract The spread in global mean precipitation among climate models is explored in two ensembles using the complementary perspectives of surface evaporation and energy budgets. Models with higher global mean precipitation have stronger oceanic evaporation, driven by drier near‐surface air. The dri...
