This report is a summary of the FY 87 research on energy related climatic variation. The report will discuss the findings, their implications and suggest profitable areas of research. Examination of climate variation is particularly timely consideration given the recent drought in the Pacific Northwest. This report describes a number of interesting trends, cyclic variations and inter-relationships that could be useful in energy planning. Topics include wind drought, recent snowpack variations, precipitation trends, temperature trends and future climate research. 37 refs., 51 figs., 3 tabs.
