16. Precipitation has increased over land at high latitudes of the
Northern Hemisphere, especially during the cold season. Decrease in
precipitation occurred in steps after the 1960s over the subtropics
and the tropics from Africa to Indonesia. These changes are consistent
with available data analyses of changes in stream flow, lake levels
and soil surface. Precipitation averaged over the Earth's land surface
increased from the start of the century up to about 1960, but has
decreased since about 1980. There is a lack of data on precipitation
over the oceans. (Source:WG I SAR, TS p.28)
