Field notes
The page links the global explorer to a ground-level briefing: rain and snow estimates for 45 California places, or a chosen point in the West, using all 51 ensemble members. Its climatology section ranks West Coast arrivals on the AR scale and reaches back to 1979. A research-and-methods section says it works through detection and diagnosis using an individual event.
