rainforest early in the morning The sun heats up the tropical rainforest in the morning Zenithal rainfall late in the morning The hot air rises and the water evaporates. By Gavin Vogt. Tropical Rainforest Facts. Tropical rainforests are located in warm regions.. 50-260 inches of rain falls every year.. 40% of Earth’s oxygen comes from tropical rainforests.. Rainforests are now less that 6% of Earth’s surface.. Florent. . Brient. , . Tapio. Schneider, . Zhihong. Tan, Sandrine Bony, Xin Qu, Alex Hall. Science Questions:. Approach:. Key Accomplishments:.

Why was the Pliocene climate like that?. Carbon dioxide increase. Tropical climates are somewhat variable . In terms of moisture. In terms of temp on a day-night cycle. And somewhat consistent. In terms of annual temp. In terms of incoming solar radiation. Diurnal compared to annual temperature ranges defines the tropics. Ray Bell. Supervisors – Prof. Pier Luigi .

Regional characteristics of tropical expansion and the role of climate variability. Observations vs Models. Observed rate in many metrics is 0.5 – 1.0 degrees/decade of expansion. Savannas. . Tropical Savannas. or . Grasslands . are associated with the tropical wet and dry climate type, but are not generally considered to be a climax community. Instead, savannas develop in regions where the climax community should be some form of forest or woodland, but continuous disturbances, such as drought or flooding, prevent the establishment of those species of trees. They are found in the latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn..
