Incidence of plague associated with increased winter-spring precipitation in New Mexico.
Plague occurs episodically in many parts of the world, and some outbreaks appear to be related to increased abundance of rodents and other mammals that serve as hosts for vector fleas. Climate dynamics may influence the abundance of both fleas and mammals, thereby having an indirect effect on human plague incidence. An understanding of the relationship between climate and plague could be useful...
متن کاملChihuahua (Mexico) winter-spring precipitation reconstructed from tree-rings, 1647–1992
The state of Chihuahua lies in an arid to semiarid zone in the NW central plain of Mexico. Its agricultural economy is highly vulnerable to frequent droughts. In this study, we reconstruct winter-spring precipitation from 1647–1992 using 6 earlywood width chronologies of Douglas fir from around Chihuahua. The tree-ring data explain 56% of the winter-spring precipitation variance in a linear reg...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Variability in Winter Precipitation across the Western United States during the Satellite Era
The western United States is known for its water shortages due to large seasonal and inter-annual variability of precipitation as well as increasing demand. Climate change will impact the availability of water in the western United States through the modification of precipitation characteristics. Satellite data presents the opportunity to study these changes at a fine, continuous spatial resolu...
متن کاملInterannual variability of winter precipitation in the European Alps: relations with the North Atlantic Oscillation
The European Alps rely on winter precipitation for various needs in terms of hydropower and other water uses. Major European rivers originate from the Alps and depend on winter precipitation and the consequent spring snow melt for their summer base flows. Understanding the fluctuations in winter rainfall in this region is crucially important to the study of changes in hydrologic regime in river...
متن کاملOn the variability of return periods of European winter precipitation extremes over the last three centuries
We investigate the changes of extreme European winter (December-February) precipitation back to 1700 and show for various European regions that return periods of extremely wet and dry winters are subject to significant changes both before and after the onset of anthropogenic influences. Generally, winter precipitation has become more extreme. We also examine the spatial pattern of the changes o...
