Heterogeneous snowpack response and snow drought occurrence across river basins of northwestern North America under 1.0°C to 4.0°C global warming

Rajesh R. Shrestha et al.

Summary: The study predicts that under global warming, there will be a decline in snow water equivalent in large river basins of northwestern North America, with more severe declines in southern regions and the possibility of small increases or decreases in northern regions. The findings suggest that temperature and precipitation play a significant role in these changes, and that southern basins with high water demands are likely to experience the most extreme occurrences of snow drought.

Climatic Controls on Mean and Extreme Streamflow Changes Across the Permafrost Region of Canada

Rajesh R. Shrestha et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the historical trends in streamflow components of the permafrost region in Canada, finding spatially varied trends and significant impacts of temperature and precipitation on streamflow. The study revealed that temperature has a dominant control over minimum flow, while precipitation plays a significant role in mean and maximum flow.

Changing River Network Synchrony Modulates Projected Increases in High Flows

David E. Rupp et al.

Summary: Projections of change in high-flow extremes with global warming vary widely within large midlatitude river basins due to the complex spatial variability of these changes. One little-studied cause of changes in high-flow extremes is a change in the synchrony of mainstem and tributary streamflow during high-flow extremes. In the Columbia River basin, warming initially leads to a decrease in synchrony as tributaries respond to climate change at different rates, but in cases where warming is sufficient to transition subbasins toward a warm regime, the decreasing trend in synchrony may reverse itself.
