Title: Hydroclimate of the Western United States Based on Observations and Regional Climate Simulations of 1981-2000. Part II: Mesoscale ENSO Anomalies

Journal Article · · Journal of Climate, 16(12):1912-1928

Regional climate of the western U.S. shows clear footprints of interactions between atmospheric circulation and orography. The unique features of the diverse climate regimes challenge climate modeling. These papers provide detailed analyses of observations and regional climate simulations to improve our understanding and modeling of regional climate of the region. Part II focuses on evaluation of simulated interannual climate variability associated with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation.
