A 4‐week advance in the growing season in Napa Valley, California, USA
6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Warming-driven shifts in Napa Valley viticultural measures are consistent with trends in grapevine phenology reported over international growing regions, ranging from 6 to 25 days earlier over numerous varieties and locations, which correlated strongly with warmer springs and summers (Duchêne & Schneider, 2005; Ruml et al., 2016; Webb et al., 2012).

Atmospheric rivers drive flood damages in the western United States
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are extratropical storms that produce extreme precipitation on the west coasts of the world’s major landmasses. In the United States, ARs cause significant flooding, yet their economic impacts have not been quantified. Here, using 40 years of data from the National Flood Insurance Program, we show that ARs are the primary drivers of flood damages in the western United States.
Author Correction: Clustering and climate associations of Kawasaki Disease in San Diego County suggest environmental triggers
Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-33124-4, published online 12 November 2018 Part of the paper presents results (including climate analysis) for temporal “clusters,” or time periods associated with anomalously high incidence rates of Kawasaki disease in the San Diego region. In the Article, these clusters were defined using a threshold density of at least 4 Kawasaki disease cases in a 7-day period.
Clustering and climate associations of Kawasaki Disease in San Diego County suggest environmental triggers
The geographical distribution of KD cases based on the location of patient’s primary residence is shown in Fig. 1A. KD incidence in San Diego follows a seasonal cycle that is similar to Japan, and more broadly, all sampled locations in the Northern Hemisphere (Fig. 1B)4,5. The main peak in case numbers is in the period from January through March, with a smaller peak in June and a nadir in cases in September and October.
Precipitation in a warming world: Assessing projected hydro-climate changes in California and other Mediterranean climate regions
This study focuses on late-21st Century winter (Northern Hemisphere–NH: December-January-February or DJF; Southern Hemisphere–SH: June-July-August or JJA) precipitation changes relative to the late 20th Century in five Mediterranean regions around the globe – the Mediterranean basin (MED), South America (SAA), California (CAL), South Africa (SAF), and Australia (AUS). Winter season is the peak of the wet season over these MedClim regions.
Changes toward Earlier Streamflow Timing across Western North America
1. Introduction The loss of mountain snow accumulation and reductions in snowmelt-derived water supply are among the primary consequences expected from climate warming. Thus it is with some concern that a shift toward earlier spring snowmelt-derived streamflow, starting in the late 1940s, has been observed for several regions across western North America (, ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ).
