Abstract: The availability of long-term gridded datasets of precipitation, temperature, and other surface meteorological variables offers the potential for deriving a range of land surface conditions that have not been directly ...

Abstract: In western North America, snow provides crucial storage of winter precipitation, effectively transferring water from the relatively wet winter season to the typically dry summers. Manual and telemetered measurements of ...

Abstract: Recent studies have shown substantial declines in snow water equivalent (SWE) over much of the western United States in the last half century, as well as trends toward earlier spring snowmelt and peak spring streamflows. ...

Abstract: esults from a regional climate model simulation show substantial increases in future flood risk (2040?69) in many Pacific Northwest river basins in the early fall. Two primary causes are identified: 1) more extreme and ...

Abstract: ssessing uncertainties in hydrologic models can improve accuracy in predicting future streamflow. Here, simulated streamflows using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model at coarse (°) and fine (°) spatial resolutions ...

Abstract: A physically based hydrology model is used to produce time series for the period 1916?2003 of evapotranspiration (ET), runoff, and soil moisture (SM) over the western United States from which long-term trends are evaluated. ...

Abstract: Natural fluctuations in the atmosphereocean system related to the El NiñoSouthern Oscillation (ENSO) induce climate variability over many parts of the world that is potentially predictable with lead times from seasons to ...
