Pollen analysis of two surface transects of modern soil samples and four stratigraphic sections from the central Sierra Nevada of California have provided a climatic record covering the time interval since the recession of the last glaciers of the Wisconsin glaciation. Two separate warm intervals are recognized between the recession of the Wisconsin glaciers and the reappearance of glaciers in the Sierra during the Little Ice Age.Type

Modeling of Silicate Mineral Weathering Reactions in an Alpine Basin of the Southern Sierra Nevada, CaliforniaMineral weathering reactions from a small, Sierran alpine watershed were modeled with a stoichiometric mole-balance method, using a multi-year record of streamflow and snowpack chemical analyses, and site-specific mineral compositions. Reaction modeling was intended to determine the dependence of mineral weathering stoichiometry on (1) time, (2) lithology /mineralogy, and (3) space. Thin sections were made from 13 Emerald Lake Watershed rock samples; mild hypogene alteration was identified in most samples, indicated by quartzsericite replacement of primary minerals and the presence of epidote and minor calcite. Electron microprobe analyses of thin sections provided basin-specific chemical compositions of major mineral species for reaction modeling. Time series arrays of input (snowpack) chemistry, and output (stream) chemistry were used to calculate molar balances of component ions in the watershed. Single weathering reactions were modeled first, to determine the most important species, then reactions were combined, using mineral compositions from different lithologies, to determine dependence on geology. Weathering reaction models were evaluated primarily by linear regression of modeled versus observed differences between snowmelt and streamflow chemistry. As modeled, relative molar quantities of silicate minerals dissolved through weathering did not change appreciably over the two years considered. Also, hornblende exerted influence on streamflow chemistry disproportionate to its volumetric presence; of all mineral species considered singly, it produced the lowest final error and the best fit of modeled versus observed ion concentrations. Weathering reactions using mineral compositions from the Emerald Lake Granodiorite, a mafic-rich unit in the lower elevations of the basin, best explained the chemical differences between snowpack and streamflow. Finally, different regions within the watershed, as delineated by the four main inflows, exhibited different weathering stoichiometries due to variations in their stream chemistry. A summary of quantitative chemical analyses for Emerald Lake Watershed minerals is appended, along with a listing and explanation of the computer program used to perform the mole-balance calculations.

Long‐Term Hydroclimatic Patterns in the Truckee‐Carson Basin of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, USAThe Truckee/Carson Basin, like other semiarid basins in the western United States, faces challenges to water management and planning under a changing climate. We analyzed tree-ring data, along with instrumental climatic and hydrologic records, to provide a perspective on extreme drought in the 21st century. Drought indices highlighted a recent increase in the average duration of hydroclimatic episodes: in the new millennium average duration was 74% longer for the 24-month Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-24) and 62% longer for the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) than in the previous century. Average snow water equivalent (SWE) declined 7% per decade from 1965 to 2018. The 2012-2015 drought, in particular, stood out for its intensity and expression in snowpack, streamflow, and drought indices. Likely because of recent warming, this 4-year drought event had a very low likelihood based on observed Carson River flows from the first half of the 20th century. A 501-year tree-ring reconstruction (1500-2000 CE) of average water-year streamflow for the Carson River indicated that positive (wet) spells had slightly longer duration (mean of 2.7 years and range from 1 to 10 years) than negative (dry) intervals (mean of 2.4 years and range from 1 to 9 years). The early 1900s pluvial, that is, 1905-1911 in this record, was the third strongest episode in the entire reconstruction. The driest years were 1580 and 1934, both well-known widespread and severe droughts in the western United States. Noise-added reconstructions suggest that 2012-2015, while not unique in the 401 years prior to the start of the Carson River gaged flows in 1901, was a less than one-in-a-century event.

Using the Airborne Snow Observatory to Assess Remotely Sensed Snowfall Products in the California Sierra NevadaThe Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) performed two acquisitions over two mountainous basins in California on 29 January and 3 March 2017, encompassing two atmospheric river events that brought heavy snowfall to the area. These surveys produced high-resolution (50 m) maps of snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) that were used to estimate monthly areal snowfall accumulation. Comparison of ASO snow accumulation with point measurements showed that the ASO estimates ranged from -10 to +16% relative bias across three sites, which is likely inflated by the disagreement in areal representation of the quantities from the actual errors in these products. The aggregated SWE accumulations from ASO are then used to evaluate a suite of in situ based and remote sensing precipitation products. During the study period, Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) and Mountain Mapper estimates had relative bias <10% compared with ASO-based estimates of snow accumulation, but satellite and radar products largely underestimate snowfall accumulation compared to ASO (up to 50%). Despite their underestimation, satellite and radar products show correlation coefficients >0.8 with ASO snow accumulation over the selected grids at the monthly scale. Finally, we leveraged the fine-scale sampling of the spatially complete ASO products to show that by moving from 100 m to 2 km spatial scales, the perceived bias errors SWE at point locations increased by an order of magnitude, displaying a nonlinear relationship. The study demonstrates that ASO acquisitions in cold months can bring a new and effective approach to spatial evaluation of precipitation products.
