Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
(2008-02-22)
Observations have shown that the hydrological cycle of the western United States changed significantly over the last half of the 20th century. We present a regional, multivariable climate change detection and attribution ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
The Western U.S. Drought: How Bad Is It?
(2014-08-10)
Historical stream flow records and the forecast for 2004 make the current (1999–2004) drought in the southwestern United States the worst one in the past 80 years for portions of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB).
For ...

Associations of decadal to multidecadal sea-surface temperature variability with Upper Colorado River flow
(2007-02)
The relations of decadal to multidecadal (D2M) variability in global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs)
with D2M variability in the flow of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) are examined for the years 1906-
2003. Results ...
Cambios de la Irradiancia Solar y Determinación de la Turbiedad Atmosférica en Costa Rica Durante el Eclipse Total del 11 de Julio de 1991
(Observaciones Científicas Realizadas en Costa Rica (W. Fernández, ed.) Editorial de la Universidad de Costa Rica, 1992)
Con motivo de la ocurrencia de un eclipse total de Sol, el 11 de junio de 1991, se hicieron mediciones de la radiación global en varios lugares de Costa Rica. En dos de estos lugares, Puntarenas y Santa Cruz, se hicieron ...
Structure and Detectability of Trends in Hydrological Measures over the Western United States
(2009-08)
This study examines the geographic structure of observed trends in key hydrologically relevant variables across the western United States at ⅛° spatial resolution during the period 1950–99. Geographical regions, latitude ...
Skill of CMIP5 climate models in reproducing 20th century basic climate features in Central America
(2014-12)
A total of 107 climate runs from 48 Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 5 (CMIP5) general circulation models (GCMs) were evaluated for their ability to skillfully reproduce basic characteristics of late 20th century ...
Associations of multi-decadal sea-surface temperature variability with US drought
(2008-09)
Recent research suggests a link between drought occurrence in the conterminous United States (US) and sea surface temperature (SST) variability in both the tropical Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans on decadal to multidecadal ...
