Tree ring record of streamflow and drought in the upper Snake River.
Water Resources Research, Vol. 46 (W11529).
doi:10.1029/2010WR009282.
Tree ring samples collected near the Snake River headwaters
were augmented with preexisting tree ring chronologies to create
a 415 year reconstruction of upper Snake River streamflow,
extending the short instrumental record and providing the first
description of multicentury water supply variability in this river.
Results indicate that the region's early 21st century drought
is severe even in the context of long-term climatic variability
and that the instrumental record is representative of low-flow
individual years. In terms of overall magnitude, droughts of the
recent past are eclipsed by a sustained low-flow period lasting
for over 30 years in the early to mid-1600s. A comparison of
reconstructed Snake River flow with streamflow reconstructions
of the Colorado, Sacramento, and Verde rivers suggests that
changes in the predominance of zonal versus meridional atmospheric
flow may have influenced drought patterns in the western
United States through time.
STUDY NOTES: Wise 2010 tree-ring reconstruction of streamflow at three gages in
the upper Snake River. Reconstruction is of total annual (water year)
flow in acre-feet. The reconstructed gage records are for the
following gages:
(1) Jackson Lake at Dam on Snake River near Moran, WY
(2) south fork of the Snake River at Palisades Dam, ID
(3) Snake River near Heise, ID.
Reconstruction is based on 3 tree-ring chronologies:
FMT Douglas fir (S. Gray): 42.96°N, 109.77°W, 2300m, 1507-2006AD
HRI Limber pine (Teton Science School): 43.30°N, 110.67°W, 2000m 1505-2006AD
RDH Limber pine (E. Wise): 43.62°N, 110.44°W, 2300m, 1322-2006AD
The RDH chronology is archived in the International Tree Ring Data Bank (ITRDB):
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/treering.html
Instrumental data was supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
(http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet). See Wise (2010) for
more complete description of data and methods.
