The relationship of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation to the contiguous US snowfall was
investigated using data from 3841 cooperative observer stations for the period 1951–1997 …

An important part of the water supply in the western United States is derived from runoff fed
by mountain snowmelt Snow accumulation responds to both precipitation and temperature …

Regional changes in early, middle, and late winter total snowfall distributions are identified
over the continental United States in association with warm and cold phases of the El Niño …

Abstract Seasonal snowfall in New England has exhibited wide variations over the last few

Two possible mechanisms for interannual modulation of precipitation anomalies in the
Southwest US are examined. The association between El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) …

Extreme phases of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon have been
blamed for precipitation anomalies in many areas of the world. In some areas the probability …

One of the consequences of the new NOAA definition of El Niño is the identification of a
number of boreal autumns and winters as El Niño seasons that are not conventionally so …

The winter precipitation anomalies in the European area have been analysed over the
