| Title | Spring Precipitation in Intermountain West Influenced by Quasi-Biennial Oscillation |
| Creator | Phelps, Jason A. |
| Description | Unusually wet spring seasons in the Intermountain West (IW) have been linked to a wind fluctuation in higher levels of the atmosphere near the equator. Strong westerly winds during October-January often result in unusually wet conditions in the following spring.
