These oscillations can be  correlated with tree-ring-based oscillations in Sierra Nevada snowpack.  Comparison of a tree-ring-based reconstruction of the Pacific Decadal  Oscillation (PDO) index with a coral-based reconstruction of Subtropical  South Pacific sea-surface temperature indicates a high degree of  correlation between the two records during the past 300 yr. This suggests  that the PDO has been a pan-Pacific phenomena for at least the past few  hundred years. Major oscillations in the hydrologic balance of the Sierra  Nevada correspond to changes in the sign of the PDO with extreme droughts  occurring during PDO maxima. Four droughts centered on A.D. 1710, 1770,  1850, and 1930 indicate PDO-related drought reoccurrence intervals ranging  from 60 to 80 yr.","author":null,"citation":"Benson, L.V., B.K. Linsley, J.P.
