CHANGES IN FIRE SEASON PRECIPITATION IN IDAHO AND MONTANA FROM 1982-2006
Abstract. Fire season precipitation trends were investigated using daily rainfall data obtained from seventy-six Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) across Idaho and Montana for the period 1982 to 2006. Missing and erroneous values from each station were corrected with gridded data from the …

Analysis of Roanoke Region Weather Patterns Under Global Teleconnections
… through physical phenomena such as the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Artic Oscillation (AO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the Pacific North American (PNA) pattern to synoptic-scale weather patterns and precipitation in the Roanoke, Virginia region. The first chapter describes …

Relations between Landscape Structure and a Watershed's Capacity to Regulate River Flooding
Climate and human activities impact the timing and quantity of streamflow and floods in different ways, with important implications for people and aquatic environments. Impacts of landscape changes on streamflow and floods are known, but few studies have explored the magnitude, duration and count …

Quantifying climate change impacts on future water resources and salinity transport in a high semi-arid watershed using the APEX-MODFLOW-Salt model
High salinity mobilization and movement from salt laden deposits in semi-arid landscape poses threat to impairment of soil and water resources worldwide. Semi-arid regions in the world are expected to experience rising temperatures and lower precipitation, which will impact water supply and likely …

Channel erosion projections for threatened Alaska-Native communities along the Kuskokwim River
… Kuskokwim River are regularly threatened by ongoing riverbank erosion, including catastrophic events. Erosion is causing the river to encroach on AN villages, threatening infrastructure and community sustainability. Current trends in precipitation and warming in the Arctic indicate that the …

Spatial precipitation trends and effects of climate change on the Hawai'ian Hualalai aquifer
While trends in temperature are well studied and understood spatially and temporally at a multitude of scales, trends in precipitation are less understood. As the predominant source of groundwater recharge in Western Hawai'i, precipitation plays a vital role in maintaining tourism and industry …

Regional climate model evaluations of long-term changes in total precipitation and high precipitation events
Extreme events, including precipitation extremes, can have severe impacts on human society and on ecosystems. In the late 20th century, heavy precipitation events tend to occur with increasing frequency or intensity proportion to total rainfall over most land areas in the world. Precipitation, …

The Varying Effects of Climate And Landscape Changes on Increased River Flows In Minnesota Watersheds
Minnesota has experienced increases in precipitation and river flows, particularly in its southern, heavily agricultural region, since 1940. However, these areas have also experienced significant increases in the extent of corn/soybean cropping and artificial drainage. Currently, the relative …
