Tropical origins of North and South Pacific decadal variability

Creator:: Shakun, Jeremy D. and Shaman, Jeffrey
Abstract:: The origin of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the leading mode of sea surface temperature variability for the North Pacific, is a matter of considerable debate. One paradigm views the PDO as an independent mode centered in the North Pacific, while another regards it as a largely reddened response to...

Decadal variations in the global atmospheric land temperatures

Creator:: Muller, Richard A., Curry, Judith, Groom, Donald, Jacobsen, Robert, Perlmutter, Saul, Rohde, Robert, Rosenfeld, Arthur, Wickham, Charlotte, and Wurtele, Jonathan
Abstract:: Interannual to decadal variations in Earth global temperature estimates have often been identified with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. However, we show that variability on time scales of 2-15 years in mean annual global land surface temperature anomalies T-avg are more closely correlated with variability in sea surface temperatures...

Morphodynamic Evolution of Coastal Oregon: Using New Lidar-derived Beach and Sand Dune Morphometrics to Explore Multi-decadal Change

Creator:: Light, Jacob W
Abstract:: The coast of Oregon is highly dynamic, with beach and dune morphodynamics constantly evolving in response to physical and ecological forcing at scales ranging from seconds to decades and meters to tens of kilometers. Evaluating spatial and temporal trends in shoreline evolution is paramount in understanding and eventually developing a...

Repeat temperature measurements in boreholes from northwestern Utah link ground and air temperature changes at the decadal time scale

Creator:: Davis, Michael G., Harris, Robert N., and Chapman, David S.
Abstract:: Borehole temperature profiles provide a record of ground surface temperature (GST) change at the decadal to centennial time scale. GST histories reconstructed from boreholes are particularly useful in climate reconstruction if changes in GST and surface air temperature (SAT) are effectively coupled at decadal and longer time periods and it...

The effect of El Niño Southern Oscillation cycles on the decadal scale suspended sediment behavior of a coastal dry-summer subtropical catchment

Creator:: Gray, Andrew B., Pasternack, Gregory B., Watson, Elizabeth B., Warrick, Jonathan A., and Goñi, Miguel A.
Abstract:: Rivers display temporal dependence in suspended sediment–water discharge relationships. Although most work has focused on multi-decadal trends, river sediment behavior often displays sub-decadal scale fluctuations that have received little attention. The objectives of this study were to identify inter-annual to decadal scale fluctuations in the suspended sediment–discharge relationship of a...

Understanding Drivers of Glacier Length Variability Over the Last Millennium

Creator:: Huston, Alan C.
Abstract:: Changes in glacier length reflect the integrated response to local fluctuations in temperature and precipitation, but when do such changes indicate forced climate change, and when do they indicate natural variability? In this study, we simulate the past ~1000 years of glacier length variability across the globe using the 3-stage...

Identifying "at-risk" regions of snow accumulation within California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, and assessing implications on reservoir operations

Creator:: Kalyan, Imtiaz-Ali M.
Abstract:: California's water resources vary throughout the state owing to the regions varying topography, diverse climate, and the distribution of precipitation. Most of the state's precipitation falls over the northern coastal range and the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Winter snowpack that accumulates within these mountain basins serves as...

Optics, structure and variability of the offshore Columbia River plume

Creator:: Saldías, Gonzalo
Abstract:: The Columbia River delivers the greatest amount of freshwater to the coastal ocean along the U.S. Pacific coast. This freshwater forms the Columbia River plume, a mesoscale plume with significant implications on coastal ocean physical, biological, chemical, and geological processes. The plume is transported south and offshore during the upwelling...

Fishing Games Under Climate Variability: Transboundary Management of Pacific Sardine in the California Current System

Creator:: Ishimura, Gakushi, Herrick, Samuel Jr, and Sumaila, Rashid
Abstract:: Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax), which is a transboundary resource targeted by Mexican, U.S. and Canadian fisheries, has exhibited extreme decadal variability in its abundance and geographic distribution corresponding to water temperature regime shifts within the California Current Ecosystem. Our study develops a three-agent bioeconomic framework that incorporates environmental effects on...
