Changes toward Earlier Streamflow Timing across Western North America
- I. Stewart, D. Cayan, M. Dettinger
- Environmental Science, Geography
- 15 April 2005
Abstract The highly variable timing of streamflow in snowmelt-dominated basins across western North America is an important consequence, and indicator, of climate fluctuations. Changes in the timing…
Changes in the Onset of Spring in the Western United States
- D. Cayan, S. A. Kammerdiener, M. Dettinger, J. Caprio, D. H. Peterson
- Environmental Science
- 1 March 2001
Abstract Fluctuations in spring climate in the western United States over the last 4–5 decades are described by examining changes in the blooming of plants and the timing of snowmelt–runoff pulses.…
Latent and sensible heat flux anomalies over the northern oceans : driving the sea surface temperature
- D. Cayan
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 1992
Abstract A part of the large-scale thermodynamic forcing of the upper ocean is examined by relating monthly anomalous latent and sensible heat flux to changes in sea surface temperature (SST)…
Trends in Snowfall versus Rainfall in the Western United States
- N. Knowles, M. Dettinger, D. Cayan
- Environmental Science
- 15 September 2006
Abstract The water resources of the western United States depend heavily on snowpack to store part of the wintertime precipitation into the drier summer months. A well-documented shift toward earlier…
Climate change scenarios for the California region
- D. Cayan, E. Maurer, M. Dettinger, M. Tyree, K. Hayhoe
- Environmental Science
- 26 January 2008
To investigate possible future climate changes in California, a set of climate change model simulations was selected and evaluated. From the IPCC Fourth Assessment, simulations of twenty-first…
Atmospheric Rivers, Floods and the Water Resources of California
- M. Dettinger, F. Ralph, T. Das, P. Neiman, D. Cayan
- Environmental Science
- 24 March 2011
California's highly variable climate and growing water demands combine to pose both water-supply and flood-hazard challenges to resource managers. Recently important efforts to more fully integrate…
North Pacific Decadal Climate Variability since 1661
- F. Biondi, A. Gershunov, D. Cayan
- Environmental Science, Geography
- 2001
Abstract Climate in the North Pacific and North American sectors has experienced interdecadal shifts during the twentieth century. A network of recently developed tree-ring chronologies for Southern…
ENSO and Hydrologic Extremes in the Western United States
- D. Cayan, K. Redmond, L. Riddle
- Environmental Science
- 1 September 1999
Frequency distributions of daily precipitation in winter and daily stream flow from late winter to early summer, at several hundred sites in the western United States, exhibit strong and systematic…
