Using Statistics to Select Atmospheric Predictor Variables

An exploratory analysis found that atmospheric predictor variables selected through statistical methods can lead to more accurate rainfall projections when compared to the previous predictor set used in statistical downscaling for rainfall projections in HawaiÊ»i. This figure shows the skill of a linear model in projecting rainfall…

Shifting Streamflow Extremes

In HawaiÊ»i, the maximum streamflow in a year was not always the result of the maximum rainfall, based on analyses from 1975 to 2005. The timing of both maximum events has shifted from early Jan to late Dec, likely due to the changes in ENSO…
