Utility of daily vs. monthly large-scale climate data: an intercomparison of two statistical downscaling methods
(2008-03-13)Downscaling of climate model data is essential to local and regional impact analysis. We compare two methods of statistical downscaling to produce continuous, gridded time series of precipitation and surface air temperature ... -
Potential increase in floods in California’s Sierra Nevada under future climate projections
(2011-12)California’s mountainous topography, exposure to occasional heavily moisture-laden storm systems, and varied communities and infrastructures in low lying areas make it highly vulnerable to floods. An important question ... -
The Caribbean Low-Level Jet, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation Patterns in the Intra-Americas Sea: A Proposed Dynamical Mechanism
(2015-01-12)Data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project covering Central America, the Caribbean Sea, the eastern tropical Pacific and northern South America are used to compute four indexes that describe characteristics ... -
Downscaling With Constructed Analogues: Daily Precipitation and Temperature Fields Over The United States
(2008-01)Daily precipitation and average temperature patterns for the contiguous United States were downscaled from a 2.5 x 2.5 degree (coarse) resolution grid to a 1/8 x 1/8 degree (fine) resolution grid using a constructed‐analogues ... -
Detection and Attribution of Streamflow Timing Changes to Climate Change in the Western United States
(2009-07)This article applies formal detection and attribution techniques to investigate the nature of observed shifts in the timing of streamflow in the western United States. Previous studies have shown that the snow hydrology ... -
California Climate Change Center Report Series Number 2008-0XX
(2008-06)Four dynamic regional climate models (RCMs) and one statistical downscaling approach were used to downscale 10 years of historical climate in California. To isolate possible limitations of the downscaling methods, we ... -
Changes in Aridity in the Western United States
(2008-08)It is often remarked that most of the western US (Figure 1) is “always in drought,” especially by visitors from wetter climates. The plants and landforms of the West, however, are more or less adapted to the region’s ... -
Los Recursos Hídricos en Costa Rica: un enfoque estratégico
(2012-03)En este documento se presenta un diagnóstico del estado de los recursos hídricos terrestres de la República de Costa Rica (CR). En comparación a una gran cantidad de países del mundo, CR tiene una amplia disponibilidad ... -
Impactos de la variabilidad y cambio hidro-climático en sistemas humanos y ambientales: preparación de desastres, manejo de los recursos hídricos y planeamiento
(2010)El tema de la variabilidad y el cambio climático forma un eje transversal que agrupa los impactos en diversos sistemas humanos y ambientales. Para citar sólo algunos efectos del clima, sus impactos se ven reflejados de ... -
Five Hundred Years of Hydrological Drought in the Upper Colorado River Basin
(2007-06)This article evaluates drought scenarios of the Upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) considering multiple drought variables for the past 500 years and positions the current drought in terms of the magnitude and frequency. ...
