Error Correction Means California’s Future Wetter Winters May Never Come Details Share This Correcting for the double-ITCZ bias, a persistent error in many climate models, reveals that future U.S. Southwest winters will be drier than expected California and other areas of the U.S. Southwest may see less future winter precipitation than previously projected by climate models.

 E-Mail RICHLAND, Wash.--California and other areas of the U.S. Southwest may see less future winter precipitation than previously projected by climate models. After probing a persistent error in widely used models, researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory estimate that California will likely experience drier winters in the future than projected by some climate models, meaning residents may see less spring runoff, higher spring temperatures, and an increased risk of wildfire in coming years. Earth scientist Lu Dong, who led the study alongside atmospher...
