3 Terrestrial Water Cycle and Climate Change: Linkages and Feedbacks The Atmosphere External Forcing Internal Adjustment The Ice Result The Continents The Oceans Climate System Questions: How did the internal adjustment work in the past? How will it work in the future?
4 Terrestrial Water Cycle and Climate Change: Linkages and Feedbacks The Atmosphere External Forcing Internal Adjustment The Ice Result The Continents The Oceans Climate System Questions: How did the internal adjustment work in the past? How will it work in the future? What is the role of the water cycle?

9 The Water Cycle Question: - What components are important, what are not? - Is the groundwater important? 1. Atmosphere Atmosphere 2. Soil-Plants 3. Surface Water Ice Caps Continents 4. Groundwater? Oceans
10 Is the Groundwater Reservoir Important? What does groundwater do? - Temporarily holds wet-period surplus, and later supplies dry-period deficit - Sustains stream flow in humid and sub-humid climate, receives loosing streams in arid climate - It is the slow component of the system: regulating dynamics? Reservoirs Volume (1000 km 3 ) Residence Time Oceans 1,338 ~ 4,000 years Atmosphere 0.01 hours - days Ice ,000 years Atmosphere Soil Water 0.02 hours - months 1. Atmosphere Surface Water 0.14 days - years Groundwater 23.4 days - 10,000 years 2. Soil-Plants 3. Surface Water Ice Caps Continents 4. Groundwater? Oceans
11 Is the Groundwater Reservoir Important? Current Models ~ 1-3 m Land Surface Base of soil model Without Groundwater: - Model climate drifts away (little memory) - Cannot close the water budget - Model impact on water resources unrealistic and inconsistent - Feedback cut off - Uncertainty in future predictions 1.

13 Is the Groundwater Reservoir Important? Current Models ~ 1-3 m Land Surface Base of soil model Without Groundwater: - Model climate drifts away (little memory) - Cannot close the water budget - Model impact on water resources unrealistic, and inconsistent - Feedback cut off - Uncertainty in future predictions 1. Atmosphere 2. Soil-Plants 3. Surface Water 4. Groundwater? Continents Atmosphere Ice Caps Oceans
14 Is the Groundwater Reservoir Important? Hypothesis: - The groundwater reservoir directly influences the soil moisture (spatial structure, temporal memory) and boundary layer processes. - It regulates the duration of floods and droughts through land-atmosphere feedbacks. - It is essential to closing the continental water budget. Approach: - Mechanistic process model first principles observations - Model experiments: links? 1. Atmosphere 2. Soil-Plants 3. Surface Water 4. Groundwater? Continents Atmosphere Ice Caps Oceans

22 Is the Groundwater Reservoir Important?
