Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2008, background): “Climatic variability in association with decadal and multidecadal Pacific and Atlantic Ocean oscillations certainly has large impacts on vegetation mortality (Swetnam & Betancourt, 1998; McCabe et al., 2004).”
What is the current state of scientific knowledge with regard to seasonal and decadal forecasting? (2012, background): “The combination of PDV, AMV and climate change appears to explain nearly all of the multi-decadal US drought frequency (McCabe et al 2004), including key events like the American dustbowl of the 1930s (Schubert et al 2004).”
Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, background): “…projections of increasing drought severity and fre quency in many parts of the world, particularly in mid-latitude regions (Lawford et al., 1993; Hanson & Weltzin, 2000; Rosenberg et al., 2003; Weltzin et al., 2003; Cook et al., 2004; McCabe et al., 2004; IPCC, 2007; Seager et al., 2007).”
A Review of the Role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and Associated Climate Impacts (2019, background): “AMV is anticorrelated with the central U.S. rainfall and river flows and positively correlated with the central U.S. drought frequency at multidecadal timescales in observations (Enfield et al., 2001; McCabe et al., 2004).”
Copulas‐based risk analysis for inter‐seasonal combinations of wet and dry conditions under a changing climate (2018, background): “Using principal component analysis, McCabe et al. (2004) identified that approximately 52% of the variance in the multi-decadal drought frequency over the United States could be explained by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).”
Is there a 60‐year oscillation in global mean sea level? (2012, background): “[9] We have broken the gauges in the North Pacific into two distinct regions: The Western North Pacific (dominated by Japanese gauges) and the Central/Eastern North Pacific, which include Honolulu and gauges along the North American West Coast.”
Decadal climate prediction: an update from the trenches (2014, background): “drought frequency (McCabe et al. 2004; Schubert et al. 2004, 2009), thus implying that better decadal predictions of SSTs in both basins could produce more skillful drought outlooks over the United States.”
A tree‐ring based reconstruction of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation since 1567 A.D. (2004, background): “[3] The AMO has been linked to multi-year precipitation anomalies over North America, and appears to modulate El Niño-Southern Oscillation teleconnections over large portions of the Northern Hemisphere [Enfield et al., 2001; McCabe et al., 2004].”
Forced and Internal Twentieth-Century SST Trends in the North Atlantic* (2009, background): “Atlantic SST variability Recent studies (Enﬁeld et al. 2001; McCabe et al. 2004; Sutton and Hodson 2005) have emphasized the impact of the AMO on North American and European precipitation.”
Using oceanic‐atmospheric oscillations for long lead time streamflow forecasting (2007, background): “Water resource managers consider streamflow as one of the most vital surface hydrological variable for predicting water supply and water hazards such as floods and droughts [Chang and Chen, 2001; Grantz et al., 2005; Maier and Dandy, 2000; Zealand et al., 1999; McCabe et al., 2004].”
Drought and the California Delta—A Matter of Extremes (2014, background): “…(acronymed as “ENSO”; e.g., Cayan and Webb 1992) and other less well known modes ranging from the 30- to 60-day tropical Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO; Guan et al. 2012) to the 30- to 60-year Pacific Decadal and Atlantic Multidecadal oscillations (PDO and AMO, respectively; McCabe et al. 2004).”
