Glaciations of the Sierra Nevada, California, USA
The Sierra Nevada is a c. 4000 m range of mountains paralle1 to the North American Pacific Coast that was repeatedly glaciated during the climatic fluchrations of the Quatemary. The glacial record on the eastem side of the range includes eight named Pleistocene glaciations and stadials: McGee, Sherwin, Casa Diablo, Mono Basin, Tahoe, Tenaya, Tioga and Recess Peak, as well as the Neoglacial Matt...
متن کاملSurface temperature patterns in complex terrain: daily variations and long-term change in the central Sierra Nevada, California
A realistic description of how temperatures vary with elevation is crucial for ecosystem studies and for models of basin-scale snowmelt and spring streamflow. This paper explores surface temperature variability using temperature data from an array of 37 sensors, called the Yosemite Network, which traverses both slopes of the Sierra Nevada in the vicinity of Yosemite National Park, California. T...
متن کاملAccumulation and melt dynamics of snowpack from a multiresolution regional climate model in the central Sierra Nevada, California
[1] The depth and timing of snowpack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains are of fundamental importance to California water resource availability, and recent studies indicate a shift toward earlier snowmelt consistent with projected impacts of anthropogenic climate change. In order for future studies to assess snowpack variability on seasonal to centennial time scales, physically based models of snow...
متن کاملDevelopment of a statistical model for estimating spatial and temporal ambient ozone patterns in the Sierra Nevada, California.
Statistical approaches for modeling spatially and temporally explicit data are discussed for 79 passive sampler sites and 9 active monitors distributed across the Sierra Nevada, California. A generalized additive regression model was used to estimate spatial patterns and relationships between predicted ozone exposure and explanatory variables, and to predict exposure at nonmonitored sites. The ...
متن کاملDistribution of California Black Rails in the Sierra Nevada foothills
California Black Rails (Laterallus jamaicensis coturniculus) have a disjunct and poorly understood distribution. After a new population was discovered in Yuba County in 1994, we conducted call playback surveys from 1994 to 2006 in the Sierra foothills and Sacramento Valley region to determine the distribution and residency of Black Rails, estimate densities, and obtain estimates of site occupan...
