Trends In Hawaiian Rainfall: Detection and Attribution Studies Using CMIP6 DAMIP Multi-Model Ensemble

Maximum wet season sap velocities (a–c) and whole-tree sap flux (d–f) for multiple individuals of each species, plotted against diameter at breast height, for the Nov 2018-March 2019 study period (left column), five sunny days with higher soil moisture (center column), and c) five sunny days with lower soil moisture (right column). Mean diurnal sap velocities for each species for all days (g), sunny with high soil moisture (h), and sunny with lower soil moisture (i).

Development of a Pilot Scale Water Resources Research Center Outputs and Products Data Portal

A boxplot showing the range of estimates per year given the set of competing models for a) wet season and b) dry season for Hilo station. The blue solid line represents the actual seasonal rainfall at Hilo station for each year and the red dotted line represents the estimate from the Elison Timm et al. (2015) model.

Figure 1. Wet (left) and dry (right) season rainfall differences (mm per day) from the historical mean simulation. Stippling indicates statistical significance at the 5% significance level obtained with Monte-Carlo resampling. Panels a – d show the differences between future (Fut) and present day (Pres) climate under warm PDO (+) and cold PDO (-) phases. Panels e – h present the differences between PDO phases under present-day and future climate conditions.
