摘要: By conduction and thermal radiation (~11.7%) rising air (~7%), approximately 18.7% of the Earth’s energy budget is used for direct heating air. Whatever causes—perhaps, in part, an expansion width Southern Hemisphere atmospheric Hadley cell (Johanson Fu 2009; Liu et al. 2007a, b)—a widening Tropical Zone circulation a southward shift Hemisphere’s tropospheric jet stream Australia’s associated subtropical arid lands appears to be taking place (Fu 2006; Evans 2009). It worth noting, too, that since “Geocentric Datum Australia 1994” became newest country-wide geographical coordinate system, it has been discovered documented subsequently Australia, isolated landmass, moving Northeast at ~3 cm/year. The continent’s supporting tectonic plate bodes future change vital hydrologic cycle. world’s driest permanently inhabited continent most variable precipitation, with periods widespread drought (Sohn 2007).
