Warm season climate warming will be a key driver of annual streamflow changes in four major river basins of the western U.S., as shown by hydrological model simulations using fixed precipitation and idealized seasonal temperature changes based on climate projections with SRES A2 forcing. Warm season (April‐September) warming reduces streamflow throughout the year; streamflow declines both immediately and in the subsequent cool season. Cool season (October‐March) warming, by contrast, increases…

Understanding the Asymmetry of Annual Streamflow Responses to Seasonal Warming in the Western United States

The response of annual runoff volume to sub‐annual climate warming is highly uncertain, and the governing mechanisms remain poorly understood, challenging adaptive water management. A typical…

Asymmetry of Western U.S. River Basin Sensitivity to Seasonally Varying Climate Warming

Future climate warming over the Western U.S. (WUS) is projected to be greater in summer than winter. Previous model‐based studies of large river basins in the WUS showed much different annual…

Declining annual streamflow distributions in the Pacific Northwest United States, 1948–2006

Much of the discussion on climate change and water in the western United States centers on decreased snowpack and earlier spring runoff. Although increasing variability in annual flows has been…

Potential impacts of a warming climate on water availability in snow-dominated regions

In a warmer world, less winter precipitation falls as snow and the melting of winter snow occurs earlier in spring, which leads to a shift in peak river runoff to winter and early spring, away from summer and autumn when demand is highest.

Changes toward Earlier Streamflow Timing across Western North America

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…

It is found that annual temperature increases nearly double from the lower B1 to the higher A1fi emissions scenario before 2100, and three of four simulations also show greater increases in summer temperatures as compared with winter.

Sustainable water deliveries from the Colorado River in a changing climate

With either climate-change or long-term mean flows, currently scheduled future water deliveries from the Colorado River are not sustainable, however, the ability of the system to mitigate droughts can be maintained if the various users of the river find a way to reduce average deliveries.
