The Magnitude of Decadal and Multidecadal Variability in North American Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors use singular spectrum analysis to investigate the relative magnitude of decadal to multidecadal (D2M) variability in annual and seasonal precipitation anomalies across North America. In most places, decadal ...
A Robust Null Hypothesis for the Potential Causes of Megadrought in Western North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe western United States was affected by several megadroughts during the last 1200 years, most prominently during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA; 800 to 1300 CE). A null hypothesis is developed to test the ...
The Tree-Ring Record of Drought on the Canadian Prairies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ring-width data from 138 sites in the Canadian Prairie Provinces and adjacent regions are used to estimate summer drought severity during the past several hundred years. The network was divided into five regional groups ...
The Continuum of Hydroclimate Variability in Western North America during the Last Millennium
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he distribution of climatic variance across the frequency spectrum has substantial importance for anticipating how climate will evolve in the future. Here power spectra and power laws (?) are estimated from instrumental, ...
