Flood Warning Issued In California: On Wednesday, March 15, 2023, the National Weather Service has issued a high-danger warning of heavy rain over California. Further flooding and mudslides are expected in areas
Rainfall has declined over the past 30 years, and in combination with a growing population requiring increases in water demand, groundwater levels have declined [32]. The region has also experienced heatwave-compounded drought events [33]. With both long-term precipitation reduction and drought, ...
Power system resource adequacy (RA), or its ability to continually balance energy supply and demand, underpins human and economic health. How meteorology affects RA and RA failures, particularly with increasing penetrations of renewables, is poorly under
according to Jan Null, a consulting meteorologist in California. However, El Niño was not present that winter and rainfall for the season was near average. The flooding was the result of excessive rainfall that fell in a short time period combined with snowmelt from late December to early ...
Gavin Newsom Vetoes Caste Discrimination Bill: On Sunday, October 8, 2023, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that was recently passed by the state legislature. The bill expressly prohibits caste discrimination; nevertheless, the Governor highlighted existing statutes that prevent ancestral ...
For forest systems, the data showed a slight decrease in CO2 responsiveness with increasing mean annual rainfall, but when growth responses were calculated for each year separately, the driest years even had the weakest relative growth response to elevated [CO2] [68]. When the results of the ...
WorldClim v1.03 (http://www.wordclim.org) is derived from historic rainfall and temperature data (spanning the period 1961–2005, inclusive) collected from worldwide weather stations51. Data from these weather stations were then interpolated to 30 arc seconds using a thin plate smoothing algorithm...
Exposure terms included: heat, drought, food insecurity, climate change, extreme weather, acute weather events, wildfire, forced migration, storm, sea level rise, rainfall, flood. Air pollution was excluded because effects of climate-related pollution often cannot be differentiated from other sources ...
[34]. This difference is attributed to the higher relative humidity in coastal regions (e.g., Ludong), which is unfavorable for O3formation, resulting in lower O3concentrations compared to inland areas. Additionally, more frequent summer rainfall promotes wet scavenging of O3in these regions. O3...
This paper presents new estimates of the hemispheric energy balance based on an assembly of radiative flux and ocean heat data. Further, it provides an ove
