229 Time resolution on the scale of a year or two can be obtained from semi-fossil trees, e.g., Roig et al (2001) have a 1229 - year - long stretch of tree - ring widths from the middle of the last ice age at 40 ° S that shows abrupt droughts with abrupt recoveries (tenfold changes in yearly accumulation), but they are floating in absolute time and such local records can not yet be matched to events in the ice - core recoTime resolution on the scale of a year or two can be obtained from semi-fossil trees, e.g., Roig et al (2001) have a 1229 - year - long stretch of tree - ring widths from the middle of the last ice age at 40 ° S that shows abrupt droughts with abrupt recoveries (tenfold changes in yearly accumulation), but they are floating in absolute time and such local records can not yet be matched to events in the ice - core recotime and such local records can not yet be matched to events in the ice - core records.

Ensuring that farmers have access to real - time climate services, such as early warning systems for drought or crop index insurance, is critical to support rural livelihoods and mitigate crop production loss in the event of a climatic shock.

The distribution and timing of floods and droughts is most profoundly affected by the cycle of El Niño events, particularly in the tropics and over much of the mid-latitudes of Pacific - rim countries.

But California droughts are also fundamentally linked to the quantities and timing of precipitation, the dynamics of storm formation in the Pacific Ocean, the impacts of climate change on the frequency and intensity of El Niño and La Niña events and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and the behavior of the jet stream as conditions in the Arctic change.

Over a longer time frame, those choices can fuel climate change, which in turn affects water quantity — through drought and other extreme weather events — and quality, by raising the temperature of lakes, streams, and rivers.

The decadal scenarios are not time series, but rather frequencies of extreme events (including clusters) and worst case scenarios over the target time interval: floods, droughts, heat waves, tropical cyclones, heavy snowfalls, etc..
