If these models are correct, the levels of aridity of the recent multiyear drought, or the Dust Bowl and 1950s droughts, will, within the coming years to decades, become the new climatology of the American Southwest. (ldeo.columbia.edu)
Outputs from four different general circulation model simulations for 2 × CO2 are included in the analyses; model predictions for increasing aridity in the Yellowstone Park area are generally in agreement with observed trends in the historical climate records. (link.springer.com)
The study, published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, looked at how natural climatic forces contributed to centuries - long and even millennia - long periods of aridity in California during the past 10,000 years. (mediarelations.uwo.ca)
