California margin temperatures modulate regional circulation and extreme summer precipitation in the desert Southwest
In August 2022, Death Valley, the driest place in North America, experienced record flooding from summertime rainfall associated with the North American monsoon (NAM). Given the socioeconomic cost of these type of events, there is a dire need to understand their drivers and future statistics. Existing theory predicts that increases in the intensity of precipitation is a robust response to anthropogenic warming. Paleoclimatic evidence suggests tha…
CO 2 -plant effects do not account for the gap between dryness indices and projected dryness impacts in CMIP6 or CMIP5
Recent studies have found that terrestrial dryness indices like the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), and Aridity Index calculated from future climate model projections are mostly negative, implying a drying land surface with warming. Yet, the same models’ future runoff and bulk soil moisture projections instead show regional signals of varying sign, and their vegetation projections …
The improbable but unexceptional occurrence of megadrought clustering in the American West during the Medieval Climate Anomaly
The five most severe and persistent droughts in the American West (AW) during the Common Era occurred during a 450 year period known as the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA—850–1299 C.E.). Herein we use timeseries modeling to estimate the probability of such a period of hydroclimate change occurring. Clustering of severe and persistent drought during an MCA-length period occurs in approximately 10% of surrogate timeseries that were constructed to ha…
North American megadroughts in the Common Era: Reconstructions and simulations
During the Medieval Climate Anomaly ( MCA ), Western North America experienced episodes of intense aridity that persisted for multiple decades or longer. These megadroughts are well documented in many proxy records, but the causal mechanisms are poorly understood. General circulation models ( GCMs ) simulate megadroughts, but do not reproduce the temporal clustering of events during the MCA , suggesting they are not caused by the time history of …
