Regional climate modeling addresses our need to understand and simulate climatic
processes and phenomena unresolved in global models. This paper highlights examples of …

The term “pseudo-global warming”(PGW) refers to a simulation strategy in regional climate
modeling. The strategy consists of directly imposing large-scale changes in the climate …

In this review, we provide guidance on the construction of climate scenarios for stress tests—
scenarios that represent disruptive climatic events and can be used to assess the impacts of …

An estimated 128 M trees died during the 2012–2016 California drought, largely in the
southern Sierra Nevada Range. Prescribed burning and mechanical thinning are widely …

Wildfires are increasingly impacting the environment and human health. Among the top 20
California wildfires, those in 2020–2021 burned more acres than the last century combined …

Accurate prediction of snow water equivalent (SWE) can be valuable for water resource
managers. Recently, deep learning methods such as long short-term memory (LSTM) have …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are critical to the hydrological cycle of the western United States
with both favorable and formidable impacts to society based on their landfalling …

Snow droughts are commonly defined as below-average snowpack at a point in time,
typically 1 April in the western United States (wUS). This definition is valuable for interpreting …

Accurate precipitation estimates are critical to simulating seasonal snowpack evolution. We
conduct and evaluate high‐resolution (4‐km) snowpack simulations over the western United …

California is one of the nation's top agriculture producers and is vulnerable to extreme
events such as droughts and heat waves. Concurrent extreme events may further stress …
