abstract = "{Measurements taken by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
satellites indicated a continued water storage increase over the
Missouri River Basin (MRB) prior to the 2011 flood event. An
analysis of the major hydrologic variables in the MRB, i.e.,
those of soil moisture, streamflow, groundwater storage, and
precipitation, show a marked variability at the 10-15 year time
scale coincident with the water storage increase. A climate
diagnostic analysis was conducted to determine what climate
forcing conditions preceded the long-term changes in these
variables. It was found that precipitation over the MRB
undergoes a profound modulation during the transition points of
the Pacific quasi-decadal oscillation and associated
teleconnections. The results infer a prominent teleconnection
forcing in driving the wet/dry spells in the MRB, and this
connection implies persistence of dry conditions for the next 2
to 3 years.}",
