Predictions of floods, droughts, and fast drought‐flood transitions are required at different
time scales to develop management strategies targeted at minimizing negative societal and …

The high climate sensitivity of hydrologic systems, the importance of those systems to
society, and the imprecise nature of future climate projections all motivate interest in …

Drought risk refers to the potential losses from hazard imposed by a drought event, and it is
generally characterized as a function of vulnerability, hazard, and exposure. In this study …

We evaluate the implications of ten twenty-first century climate scenarios for snow, soil
moisture, and fuel moisture across the conterminous western USA using the Variable …

Society and the environment in the arid southwestern United States depend on reliable
water availability, yet current water use outpaces supply. Water demand is projected to grow …

Estimating spatially distributed parameters remains one of the biggest challenges for large‐
domain hydrologic modeling. Many large‐domain modeling efforts rely on spatially …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable in terrestrial water, energy and carbon cycles. ET
products have proliferated. This study evaluates ten monthly, globally available products …

Gridded precipitation and temperature products are inherently uncertain because of myriad
factors, including interpolation from a sparse observation network, measurement …

Methodological choices can have strong effects on projections of climate change impacts on
hydrology. In this study, we investigate the ways in which four different steps in the modeling …

In this Commentary, we argue that it is possible to improve the physical realism of hydrologic
models by making better use of existing hydrologic theory. We address the following …
