STANFORD, Calif. — Atmospheric patterns associated with droughts in California have occurred more frequently in recent decades, Stanford University scientists say.
In new research published online in Science Advances, a team of researchers led by Stanford scientist Noah Diffenbaugh analyzed the occurrence of large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns that have occurred during California's historical precipitation and temperature extremes.
"The current record-breaking drought in California has arisen from both extremely low precipitation and extremely warm temperature," said Diffenbaugh, an associate professor of Earth system science at Stanford School of. . .
