This study examines the changing characteristics of snow water equivalent (SWE) in western United States and their teleconnections with large‐scale variability of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This study evaluated the relationship among sea surface temperatures (SST), 500‐mbar geopotential height (Z 500 ), 500‐mbar east–west wind (U 500 ), and western United States SWE (1 March, 1 April, and 1 May). The averages of SST, Z 5...

The current study focuses on evaluating the relationship between the Pacific Ocean climate variability and western US streamflow for six hydrologic regions of the western United States, as defined by United States Geological Survey: Rio Grande, Upper Colorado, Lower Colorado, Great Basin, Pacific Northwest, and California. The singular‐valued decomposition ( SVD ) technique was applied on data for 50 years (1960–2010) of sea‐s...
