Predicting regime shifts in flow of the Gunnison River under changing climate conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a methodology to statistically characterize the risk of regime shifts using observations of past streamflow through the use of a two-parameter gamma distribution and compared regime characteristics developed using 112 projections of future hydrology to better understand how the frequency and duration of persistent dry and wet periods may change as the impacts of climate change are realized over the subbasin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Influence of Global Climate and Anthropogenic Activities on the Water Balance of an Andean Lake
Julio Cañón,Juan B. Valdés +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a monthly water balance in Tota Lake was performed using available hydrological information from 1958 to 2007 to address interannual and multiannual level fluctuations associated with human activities and climatic precursors, and significant five-year ENSO and 20-year PDO related quasi-oscillations were detected, explaining 54% of the variance associated with mean annual naturalized level fluctuations.

Introducing: The Changing Climate of Texas Predictability And Implications For The Future
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of soil moisture field evolution to rainfall forcing
TL;DR: In this paper, the temporal behavior of soil moisture is modelled and statistically characterized by use of the zero-dimensional model for soil moisture dynamics and the rectangular pulses Poisson process model for rainfall forcing.
Journal Article
Evaluación de índices de sequía en las cuencas de afluentes del río Bravo/Grande
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the applicability and characteristics of the Standardized Precipitation lndex (SPl) and the Palmer Drought Severity index (PDSl) to characterize droughts in the Conchos and Pecos watersheds.
