Drought and Flood Extremes on the Amazon River and in Northeast Brazil, 1790–1900
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Reconstruction and Analysis of Spring Rainfall over the Southeastern U.S. for the Past 1000 Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tree-ring chronologies can provide surprisingly accurate estimates of the natural variability of important climate parameters such as precipitation and temperature during the centuries prior to the Industrial Revolution. ...
Southern Oscillation Extremes Reconstructed from Tree Rings of the Sierra Madre Occidental and Southern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The El Niñio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is correlated with climate and tree growth over northern Mexico and the southern Great Plains of the USA. Warm events favor moist-cool conditions from October through March (event ...
Texas Drought History Reconstructed and Analyzed from 1698 to 1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A selected group of nine climate-sensitive tree-ring chronologies from old post oak trees are used to reconstruct the June Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) from 1698 to 1980 for two large regions in northern and southern ...
The Relationship between Cool and Warm Season Moisture over the Central United States, 1685–2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLand surface feedbacks impart a significant degree of persistence between cool and warm season moisture availability in the central United States. However, the degree of correlation between these two variables is ...
Paleoclimatic Analogs to Twentieth-Century Moisture Regimes Across the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Instrumental Palmer Drought Severity Indexes (PDSI) averaged over the western United States and Great Plains document three major decadal moisture regimes during the twentieth century: the early twentieth-century pluvial, ...
Aztec Drought and the “Curse of One Rabbit”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sixteenth-century Aztec codices preserve a record of at least 13 drought years in central Mexico during the prehispanic and early colonial period. Climate-sensitive tree-ring records recently developed for Mexico confirm ...
Daily-Mean Temperature Reconstructed for Kansas from Early Instrumental and Modern Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A continuous record of 65 987 daily-mean temperature observations since 1828 has been developed for Manhattan, Kansas, by screening and correcting original station records of the U.S. Army Surgeon General, the Smithsonian ...
Twentieth-Century Sea Surface Temperature Patterns in the Pacific during Decadal Moisture Regimes over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three great moisture anomalies were observed during the twentieth century over the western United States: a pluvial from 1905 to 1917, the Dust Bowl drought (1929?40), and the Southwestern drought of 1946?56. A composite ...
Drought Reconstructions for the Continental United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of a 2° lat ? 3° long grid of summer drought reconstructions for the continental United States estimated from a dense network of annual tree-ring chronologies is described. The drought metric used is the ...
