New finding: Significant Long-Term Changes in Summer Season Precipitation and Potomac River Runoff
8
Climatic records for 1985-2007 reveal noticeable decreasing of summer (June-July-August) and February precipitation at Maryland. Analogous, but relatively much larger decreasing of Potomac river runoff is found in hydrological record. Should these observed changes in water resources of Maryland be attributed to global warming? This should be studied. Can these changes in water resources of Maryland be extrapolated in future? This should be studied.

Significant change in Ozone concentration statistics is observed after NOx SIP Call. Change in climatic regime of air temperature accompanies observed change in Ozone concentration. The observed change in air temperature exceeds global warming signal and could be caused by decreasing of PM2.5
