15 Global Climate Models Reproduce These Patterns of Variability at the Global Scale
16 From 1975 onwards, when greenhouse forced warming has arguably been strongest, trends in the PDO have been downwards, if anything suggesting a reduction in the rate of warming associated with decadal variability in the Pacific. Remarks Regarding Temperature The data support the hypothesis that the low frequency variability of global and regional temperatures are robustly coupled, especially for Tmin. Although studies using data only from 1950 forwards have concluded that a substantial component of the observed warming trend in the northern hemisphere is due to decadal climate variability in the Pacific, inclusion of the PDO as a predictor of cool season temperature in the West does not improve skill, whereas global temperatures are a robust predictor.
17 Precipitation
18 Differences in cool and warm season precipitation trends suggest different mechanisms (large-scale advective storms vs. smaller scale convective storms) and differing sensitivity to regional warming. Trends in warm season precipitation in the CRB are very different than the other regions and may function more like cool season precipitation (e.g. related to circulation rather than locally generated storms)

22 Super ensemble CDFs of PNW winter precipitation for four 30 year time slices from nine GCM simulations 1100 Oct-Mar Precipitation (mm) Sample Size = 270 years Probability of Exceedence
23 Are trends in warm season precipitation and changes in cool season precipitation variability linked to warming? Remarks Regarding Precipitation Trends in cool season precipitation and the summer monsoon in the southwest U.S. are ambiguous and do not seem to be related to regional expressions of global warming. Warm season precipitation in the PNW, CA, and GB, however, seems to be steadily increasing with warming. The PDO is a useful predictor of cool-season precipitation anomalies in the PNW and CRB, but the relationships in the earliest part of the record may be inconsistent with the post 1950 period. Unambiguous changes in cool season precipitation variability have occurred starting in about 1975, coincident with (but not necessarily related to) rapid greenhouse-forced warming.
