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 ...
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 ...
Structure and Detectability of Trends in Hydrological Measures over the Western United States
(2009-08)
This study examines the geographic structure of observed trends in key hydrologically relevant variables across the western United States at ⅛° spatial resolution during the period 1950–99. Geographical regions, latitude ...
Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
(2008-02-22)
Observations have shown that the hydrological cycle of the western United States changed significantly over the last half of the 20th century. We present a regional, multivariable climate change detection and attribution ...
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 ...
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 ...
