A peer reviewed journal paper at the following link has uncovered the predictability of meteorological variability using analogous orbital forcing.
Validation of predicted meteorological drought in California using analogous orbital geometries
It analyzed cyclic drought conditions in California.
This week, I heard the term snow drought for the first time; I don’t remember hearing it before now.
It would be interesting to analyze its data to see if it is also predictable using analogous orbital forcing or if it can be attributable to climate change.
Attribution of climate change to natural variability and man made elevated greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is exactly what the paper attempted to address.
So, for researchers who are interested to study this snow drought case and have the resources to do it, I think it would be a worthwhile endeavor.
