- A copula‐based nonstationary frequency analysis for the 2012–2015 drought in California (2016, background): “Some studies suggest the warming climate plays an important role in exacerbating drought condition in WNA [Cook et al., 2014b; Delworth et al., 2015; Diffenbaugh et al., 2015; Mann and Gleick, 2015] while the role of climate variability as a main driver of the recent drought are supported by others…”
- Ecological effects of extreme drought on Californian herbaceous plant communities (2016, background): “Our results suggest the vulnerability of this exceptional flora to droughts, which are expected to increase in intensity and frequency due to rising temperatures and increasingly variable precipitation (Thorne et al. 2009, Cook et al. 2015, Diffenbaugh et al. 2015, Williams et al. 2015).”
- Grasslands may be more reliable carbon sinks than forests in California (2018, background): “Recent surveys suggests that more than 100 million trees have died in the past couple of years following the severe and protracted drought of 2014−2015 (Diffenbaugh et al 2015).”
- The Max Planck Institute Grand Ensemble: Enabling the Exploration of Climate System Variability (2019, background): “…the internal variability of the climate system (e.g., Dai & Bloecker, 2019; Fasullo & Nerem, 2016; Frankignoul et al., 2017; Smith & Jahn, 2019) and extreme events (e.g., Diffenbaugh et al., 2015; Gibson et al., 2017; Kirchmeier-Young et al., 2017; Tebaldi & Wehner, 2018; Wang et al., 2018).”
- Dependence of drivers affects risks associated with compound events (2017, background): “DISCUSSION Warmer temperatures naturally lead to an increase in the co-occurrence of hot temperatures and meteorological droughts, if precipitation does not change (30, 31, 34).”
