Warming and Earlier Spring Increase Western U.S. Forest Wildfire Activity
(2006-08-18)
Western United States forest wildfire activity is widely thought to have increased in recent decades, yet neither the extent of recent changes nor the degree to which climate may be driving regional changes in wildfire has ...
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 ...
Climate change scenarios and sea level rise estimates for California 2008 Climate Change Scenarios Assessment
(2009-03)
For the 2008 California Climate Change Assessment, to further investigate possible future
climate changes in California, a set of 12 climate change model simulations was selected and
evaluated. From the Intergovernmental ...
Prediction of summer maximum and minimum temperature over the Central and Western United States: The roles of soil moisture and sea surface temperature
(2006-04-15)
A statistical model based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was used to explore climatic associations
and predictability of June–August (JJA) maximum and minimum surface air temperatures (Tmax and
Tmin) as well as ...
Attribution of Declining Western U.S. Snowpack to Human Effects
(2008-12-01)
Observations show snowpack has declined across much of the western United States over the period 1950–99. This reduction has important social and economic implications, as water retained in the snowpack from winter storms ...
The utility of daily large-scale climate data in the assessment of climate change impacts on daily streamflow in California
(2010-06-30)
Three statistical downscaling methods were applied to NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (used as a surrogate for the best possible general circulation model), and the downscaled meteorology was used to drive a hydrologic model over ...
