Abstract: The intraseasonal variability of summertime precipitation over the southwestern United States is examined using stochastic daily occurrence models combined with empirical daily rainfall distributions to document 1) the ...

Abstract: The regional variability in the summertime precipitation over the southwestern United States is studied using stochastic chain-dependent models generated from 70 yr of station-based daily precipitation observations. To ...

Abstract: The interannual variability of summertime daily precipitation at 78 stations in the southwestern United States is studied using chain-dependent models and nonparametric empirical distributions of daily rainfall amounts. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the authors evaluate the significance of multidecadal trends in seasonal-mean summertime precipitation and precipitation characteristics over the southwestern United States using stochastic, chain-dependent ...
