A method for prediction of California summer air surface temperature
(2004-12-21)
While significant progress has been made in seasonal climate prediction in recent years, summertime mid-latitude climate prediction remains problematic [e.g., Gershunov and Cayan, 2003]. Several previous studies have ...
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 ...
Projections of Potential Flood Regime Changes in California
(2009-03)
Floods have been a recurring theme in California’s climatology, hydrology, and politics
throughout its history. Today, California's aging water supply and flood protection
infrastructures are challenged by major floods ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
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 ...
