Abstract: Early historical records for states west of 105°W were used to document precipitation variations during the latter half of the 19th century (1851?1890). Over 260 records of five years or more were used. Nineteenth century ...

Abstract: Long-term precipitation records from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and western Colorado were obtained and carefully screened for missing data and station relocations. Each record was divided into five seasonal series and ...

Abstract: Fluctuations of temperature in the Rocky Mountain states of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah are analyzed for the period 1891?1978. Prior to 1891, data for this area are too sparse to make meaningful generalizations. ...

Abstract: he relationship between winter climate extremes across the northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada and some important modes of climate variability are examined to determine how these circulation patterns ...

Abstract: Precipitation and temperature data since records began in southwestern Colorado are analyzed on a seasonal basis. Interstation correlations for recent years indicate that the region responds fairly uniformly to seasonal ...

Abstract: The main spatiotemporal modes of seasonal precipitation and temperature variability in the Andes of Ecuador (1°N?4°S) and their relation to tropical Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) between ...

Abstract: An examination of five temperature and five precipitation extreme indicators reveals an increase in both temperature and precipitation extremes over the 1926?2000 period in the northeast United States, with most of this ...

Abstract: The northeastern United States is one of the most variable climates in the world, and how climate extremes are changing is critical to populations, industries, and the environment in this region. A long-term (1870?2005) ...

Abstract: Color-shaded and contoured images of global gridded instrumental data have been produced as a computer-based atlas, available to the climate community through Internet. Each image simultaneously depicts anomaly maps of ...

Abstract: One of the possible ways to check the adequacy of the physical description of meteorological elements in global climate models (GCMs) is to compare the statistical structure of these elements reproduced by models with ...
