Tree ring record of streamflow and drought in the upper Snake River. 
Water Resources Research, Vol. 46 (W11529).

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>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&apos;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.
