Sentences with phrase «in winter precipitation»

We add to this knowledge by examining how variability in winter precipitation could influence management effectiveness.

When nitrogen isotopes change in response to variation in winter precipitation over the past 2,000 years, this signature is transferred from the soil to plant leaves to insect to bat and ultimately guano.

Most studies agree that general declines in snowpack across the West have resulted from warming spring temperatures (Mote 2003; Hamlet et al. 2005; Mote et al. 2005; Abatzoglou 2011; Kapnick and Hall 2012; Pederson et al. 2013a; Lute et al. 2015); however, declines in winter precipitation may also be important (Clow 2010).

Overall, 55 percent of the stations showed a decrease in winter precipitation falling as snow, with the biggest dropoff happening in those shoulder seasons.

Differences in winter precipitation over the 15 - year simulation periods significantly influenced runoff gains.

a shift in winter precipitation from non-erosive snow to erosive rainfall due to increasing winter temperatures;

Likewise, mean variance in winter precipitation during the RW was lower than those simulated for the LIA and MCA in ensemble member 5 (p < 0.05).

There is a noticeable change in winter precipitation with winter rainfall increasing through the 19th Century portion of the record, then remaining largely constant through the 20th Century despite a rise and fall in the first half.

Scenarios were designed to account for variability in winter precipitation, as well as the pace and extent of forest treatments.

, as more frequent rain on snow events enhance melting and reduce snow storage Streamflow has risen 18 % in Newhalem Creek and 19 % in Thunder Creek despite only a slight decrease, 1 % in winter precipitation at Diablo Dam, within 5 km of both basins.

Projected increases in winter precipitation would, all else being equal, increase the snow storage.

The subsequent sections provide detailed information on the study area, the development of the modified runoff model, the method we used to simulate variability in winter precipitation, the 4FRI runoff scenarios, and the Salt - Verde runoff scenarios.

Inter-annual variability in winter precipitation was also important.

Modifying a historical runoff model, we constructed scenarios to estimate increases in runoff from thinning ponderosa pine at the landscape and watershed scales based on driving variables: pace, extent and intensity of forest treatments and variability in winter precipitation.

The large interannual to decadal hydroclimatic variability in winter precipitation is highly influenced by sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical Pacific Ocean and associated changes in large - scale atmospheric circulation patterns [16].
