Abstract

This chapter provides information about atmospheric activities and impacts of climate change. Causes for climate variability, such as El Niño Southern Oscillation, and its two different phases, La Niña and El Niño for cooling and warming, are discussed. Teleconnections, climate feedback, and forcing mechanisms (radiative and non-radiative, periodic and random, and external and internal) are also parts of the chapter. Direct and indirect effects of aerosols that influence the visibility in the atmosphere are also discussed briefly but critically. Greenhouse gases and consequences of global warming such as variations in rainfall, ice caps and glacier melting, temperature, likelihood increase in frequency of floods and droughts, and acidification due to carbonic acid formation are also explained. In addition, importance of atmospheric chemistry, Palaeo records, monsoon variability, and Holocene is also stressed. Extensive discussion on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenarios which relate to demographic, economic, technological, and social changes, i.e., Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A1, A2, B1, and B2 and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5 is also made. Impact of climate change on hydrology, water resources, urbanization, and hydrologic extremes is discussed extensively. In addition, climate change impacts on India are also covered in three aspects: What we know, what could happen, and what can be done? The reader is expected to understand various atmospheric processes/activities, impacts of climate change, and organization and utilization of the book by studying this chapter.
