Atmospheric Rivers and Snow Accumulation in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 We utilized a macroscale hydrology model in conjunction with an atmospheric river (AR) catalog to evaluate AR‐affected snow accumulation in the Upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) headwaters for water years 1951–2015. We find that there are on average 11.4

Past and Projected Future Droughts in the Upper Colorado River Basin
Geophysical Research LettersDrought has affected much of the western United States since about the year 2000, including the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB). Using a time series of UCRB streamflow derived from a tree‐ring based reconstruction of UCRB streamflow for the years 1 CE ...
