title = "Diagnostic Analysis of Climatic Teleconnections to Qu{\'e}bec Spring Streamflows",
abstract = "Results from diagnostic analyses to understand the seasonal evolution of the large scale climatic state responsible for the development and melt of the winter snowpack, and spring-early summer precipitation in the Churchill Falls region of Qu{\'e}bec are presented in the context of the development of an empirical model for seasonal to annual streamflow forecasting. Gridded, global sea surface temperature (SST) fields, and other gridded measures of atmospheric circulation inferred from the NCEP reanalysis fields are used as climatic indicators. Correlation analysis procedures are used to identify robust and dynamically consistent predictors. Meridional and Zonal Fluxes over the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans emanating from regionally persistent SST/SLP modes are identified as potential carriers of information. We speculate on the potential ocean-atmosphere and regional hydrologic mechanisms that may be involved in lending multi-seasonal predictability to streamflows in the region.",
