Statistical Associations Between Large Scale Climate Oscillations and Mesoscale Surface Meteorological Variability in the Apalachicola Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin
The "water wars" of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin are fueled largely by historic and current droughts in the southeastern United States. In attempts to describe climatological circumstances that could lead to low flows in the ACF, this study examines relationships...

The "water wars" of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin are fueled largely by historic and current droughts in the southeastern United States. In attempts to describe climatological circumstances that could lead to low flows in the ACF, this study examines relationships between some available surface climatological variables connected to evapotranspiration and four climatic oscillations using canonical correlation analysis (CCA). The surface meteorological variables for the dependent data set include monthly values of maximum and minimum temperature, as well as precipitation, extracted from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) data sets for four climate divisions in the ACF. The precipitation data are used to compute standardized precipitation index (SPI) values for three, six, twelve, and twenty-four month periods (SPI3, SPI6, SPI12, SPI24) for 1901-2000. The oscillations chosen based upon their previously researched associations to climate patterns in the southeastern United States include the global scale Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Southern Oscillation Index (SOI).
