A significant shift in atmospheric circulation occurred in 1977 over the North Pacific Ocean and northwestern North America. The resulting climate shift in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia (PNW) has caused a wide range of environmental impacts. This paper examines a number of specific environmental impacts: precipitation, temperature, winter snowpack, streamflow, subalpine seedling developments, cone crop production, streamflow, glacier mass balance, and glacier terminus behavior are reported.
