Perennial and Non‐Perennial Streamflow Regime Shifts Across California, USA by Jessica R. Ayers, Sarah M. Yarnell, Ethan Baruch, Robert A. Lusardi, Theodore E. Grantham

“…To identify regime shifts, we compared the observed class of contemporary (1980–2023) minimally disturbed and disturbed gages with their modeled, natural class. For most minimally disturbed gages, the observed and natural predicted classes were the same, but 13% (7/52) of gages had a modeled perennial regime with an observed non‐perennial class, indicating a drying trend. …”
