Abstract: Climate models depend on evapotranspiration from models of plant stomatal resistance and leaf cover, and hence they depend on a description of the response of leaf cover to temperature and soil moisture. Such a description ...

Abstract: Instrumental climate records suggest that summer precipitation and winter snowpack in Glacier National Park (Glacier NP), Montana, vary significantly over decadal to multidecadal time scales. Because instrumental records ...

Abstract: The northern Rocky Mountains (NRMs) are a critical headwaters region with the majority of water resources originating from mountain snowpack. Observations showing declines in western U.S. snowpack have implications for ...
