Infrastructure vulnerability has drawn significant attention in recent years, partly because of the occurrence of low-probability and high-consequence disruptive events such as 2017 hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, 2011 ...
Coupled Oceanic-Atmospheric Variability and US Streamflow

Tootle, Glenn A.; Piechota, Thomas C.; Singh, Ashok (2005-12-06)

[1] A study of the influence of interdecadal, decadal, and interannual oceanic atmospheric influences on streamflow in the United States is presented. Unimpaired streamflow was identified for 639 stations in the United ...
Relationships between Pacific and Atlantic Ocean Sea Surface Temperatures and U.S. Streamflow Variability

Tootle, Glenn A.; Piechota, Thomas C. (2006-07-19)

[1] An evaluation of Pacific and Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and continental U.S. streamflow was performed to identify coupled regions of SST and continental U.S. streamflow variability. Both SSTs and ...
The Western U.S. Drought: How Bad Is It?

Piechota, Thomas C.; Timilsena, Janak; Tootle, Glenn; Hidalgo, Hugo (2004-08-10)

Historical stream flow records and the forecast for 2004 make the current (1999–2004) drought in the southwestern United States the worst one in the past 80 years for portions of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB). For ...
Oceanic-Atmospheric Variability and Western U.S. Snowfall

Hunter, Thad; Tootle, Glenn; Piechota, Thomas (2006-07-08)

[1] A study of the influences of interdecadal and interannual oceanic-atmospheric influences on April 1 Snow-Water Equivalent (SWE) in the western U.S. is presented. SWE data was identified at 323 Natural Resources ...
Identification of Pacific Ocean Sea Surface Temperature Influences of Upper Colorado River Basin Snowpack

Aziz, Oubeidillah A.; Tootle, Glenn A.; Gray, Stephen T.; Piechota, Thomas C. (2010-07-27)

[1] Given the importance of Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) snowpack as the primary driver of streamflow (water supply) for the southwestern United States, the identification of Pacific Ocean climatic drivers (e.g., ...
The 2009-2010 El Niño: Hydrologic Relief to U.S. Regions

Tootle, G. A.; Piechota, T. C.; Aziz, O.; Miller, W. P.; Lakshmi, V.; Dracup, J. A.; Jerla, C. (2009-12-15)

Current forecasts by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are that the Pacific Ocean will experience El Niño conditions in late 2009 and into 2010. These forecasts are similar to past El Niño ...
A Large-Scale, High-Resolution Hydrological Model Parameter Data Set for Climate Change Impact Assessment for the Conterminous US

Oubeidillah, A. A.; Kao, S.-C.; Ashfaq, M.; Naz, B. S.; Tootle, G. (2014-01-07)

To extend geographical coverage, refine spatial resolution, and improve modeling efficiency, a computation and data-intensive effort was conducted to organize a comprehensive hydrologic data set with post-calibrated ...
Estimated Wind River Range (Wyoming, USA) Glacier Melt Water Contributions to Agriculture
