Researchers have mainly used instruments to compare the amount of precipitation from seeded clouds to similar clouds that were not seeded.

研究人员主要用仪器来比较播种云和未播种云的降水量。

In a warming climate, the overall amount of precipitation on planet earth does increase by around 2 or 3% per degree Centigrade of warming.

- 在气候变暖的情况下，地球上的降水总量确实会以每摄氏度变暖 2% 或 3% 的速度增加。

In the Tian Shan range of northwestern China, rising temperatures have been accompanied by an increase in the amount of precipitation that falls as rain rather than snow.

在中国西北部的天山山脉，气温上升同时伴随着降水量的增加，以降雨而非降雪形式出现。

In this case it probably shifted the location of climate zones in Chile and influenced the amount of precipitation that fell on parts of the Andes Mountains.

在这种情况下，它可能改变了智利气候带的位置，并影响了安第斯山脉部分地区的降水量。
