Journal ArticleDOI

Céline Bonfils,Benjamin D. Santer,David W. Pierce,Hugo G. Hidalgo,Govindasamy Bala,Tapash Das,Tim P. Barnett,Daniel R. Cayan,Daniel R. Cayan,Charles Doutriaux,Andrew W. Wood,Art Mirin,Toru Nozawa +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a rigorous detection and attribution analysis is performed to determine the causes of the late winter/early spring changes in hydrologically relevant temperature variables over mountain ranges of the western United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Key Role of Heavy Precipitation Events in Climate Model Disagreements of Future Annual Precipitation Changes in California
David W. Pierce,Daniel R. Cayan,Tapash Das,Edwin P. Maurer,Norman L. Miller,Yan Bao,Masao Kanamitsu,Kei Yoshimura,Mark Snyder,Lisa C. Sloan,Guido Franco,Mary Tyree +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored model projections of changes in the incidence of rare heavy (>60 mm day−1) daily precipitation events and found that divergent model projections explain much of the model disagreement on annual time scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increases in Flood Magnitudes in California Under Warming Climates
Tapash Das,Edwin P. Maurer,David W. Pierce,Michael D. Dettinger,Michael D. Dettinger,Daniel R. Cayan,Daniel R. Cayan +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an ensemble of 16 global climate models to predict that flooding may become more intense on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the primary source for California's managed water system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of warm season warming to western U.S. streamflow changes
Tapash Das,David W. Pierce,Daniel R. Cayan,Daniel R. Cayan,Julie A. Vano,Dennis P. Lettenmaier +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a uniform warm season warming of 3°C drives a wide range of annual flow declines across the basins: 13.3%, 7.2%, 1.8%, and 3.6% in the Colorado, Columbia, Northern and Southern Sierra basins, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic correlates of tree mortality in water- and energy-limited forests.
TL;DR: Using long-term data from California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range, it is found that in water-limited (low-elevation) forests mortality was unambiguously best modeled by climatic water deficit, consistent with the first mechanism, and in energy-limited forests deficit models were only equivocally better than temperature models.
