Abstract: Using state monthly values of the Palmer Drought Index from January 1895 through April 1981, thespatial and temporal features of dry and wet episodes over the contiguous United States were analyzed. Thevariance spectrum ...

Abstract: The separate contribution of December, January and February temperature to the net seasonal anomaly for the 1975?76 through 1981?82 winter seasons is analyzed. It is found that the January departures contributed by far the ...

Abstract: The spatial patterns and temporal trends of temperature and precipitation for northern North America (Alaska Canada and western Greenland) have been analyzed. Over approximately the past hundred years, three temperature ...

Abstract: The month of March 1843 has been characterized as exhibiting the greatest temperature anomaly of any month during the period of instrumentally measured meteorological data in the United States. The March 1843 departure ...

Abstract: Areally weighted time series of temperature and precipitation have been compiled for Alaska for the period 1931?1977. Correlations of the temperature values with those of the contiguous United States indicate that, at both ...

Abstract: Eigenvector analysis was performed on spring, summer, fall and annual temperature and precipitation over the contiguous United States and on the frequency of occurrence of cyclonic and anticyclonic conditions over an area ...

Abstract: A linear statistical downscaling technique is applied to the projection of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) climate change scenarios onto Hawaiian rainfall for the late ...

Abstract: The relationship between anomalous seasonal surface temperature and precipitation in the contiguous United States and concomitant fluctuations of western Northern Hemisphere 700 mb height as a function of latitude are ...

Abstract: Monthly stream flow series from 1345 sites around the world are used to characterize geographic differences in the seasonality and year-to-year variability of stream flow. Stream flow seasonality varies regionally, depending ...

Abstract: The effects on potential heating, cooling and water demand induced by the shift and growth of population from cooler and wetter regions of the country to warmer and drier areas were examined. Heating and cooling degree day ...
