World of Change: Seasons of Lake Tahoe
One of the most obvious signals in the Lake Tahoe region is snow, a commodity that draws skiing vacationers from November to April. The high-elevation lake received 37 percent of its precipitation as snow in 2009. At the center of the images is the Heavenly Ski Resort in the Carson Range southeast of Lake Tahoe. The groomed trails are among the first places to turn white when the first snow arrives in October, and they are among the last places to lose snow in June. Snow melts most quickly between May and June, when most of the snow disappears.
The spring also brings rain. The 63 streams flowing into Lake Tahoe swell with rain and snowmelt and sweep sediment into the lake’s unusually clear waters. For most of the year, the water is clear enough that the lake bottom is visible beneath the water near the shore. In the spring, however, dark-colored sediment pours into southern Lake Tahoe from the Upper Truckee River, clouding the view of the lakebed.
The lake itself does not show any obvious seasonal change apart from the spring sediment plume. Lake Tahoe is extremely deep (501 meters, or 1,645 feet), and its surface temperature usually stays between 4.5 and 10 degrees Celsius (40-50 degrees Fahrenheit) during the winter and 18-21 degrees Celsius (65-70 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer. It does not routinely freeze over.
Apart from snow cover, the other clear indicator of seasonal change is the lighting. Variations in sunlight drive the seasons, and these changes are notable from image to image. We experience seasons because Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis. In the summer, the hemisphere tilted toward the Sun receives more direct light than the opposite hemisphere, which is experiencing winter. (See Earth’s tilt is the reason for the seasons for an illustration.) Areas closest to the poles experience the greatest variation in seasons, while those near the equator experience no seasons at all because the angle of sunlight hardly changes throughout the year. At about 39 degrees north of the equator, Lake Tahoe sees each of the four seasons.
The seasonal shift in light is evident in the shadows that play across the images.

This report contains four primary sections: (1) a description of the five key climate hazards affecting California, (2) the major ways those hazards impact sectors across the state, (3) significant existing state‑level efforts underway to address climate change impacts, and (4) key issues for the Legislature to consider in response to these impacts. This is one of a series of reports summarizing how climate change will impact different sectors across California.

About
California Climate Investments
Priority Populations

Some Californians live in areas that are exposed to multiple sources of pollution and some communities don’t have enough resources to invest in low-carbon practices, transportation, or climate resilience. These communities will be the first impacted and the hardest hit by the effects of climate change. Recognizing this, the Legislature requires that at least 35% of all California Climate Investments benefit priority populations.

 

How Priority Populations are DefinedPer Senate Bill 535 and Assembly Bill 1550, 35% California Climate Investments must be allocated to disadvantaged Communities, low-income communities and low-Income households. These communities are defined as follows: Disadvantaged communities: The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) is responsible for identifying disadvantaged communities.

 AB32: Analysis of the Net Impact On California Jobs
 

Format:
PDF
HTML

March 4, 2010 - 
 This responds to Senator Cogdill's request for an analysis of the net impact on jobs in California that would occur as a result of the implementation of AB 32 (Núñez), the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006. In our response, we briefly summarize the basic provisions of AB 32 and its planned implementation through the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) Scoping Plan (SP), discuss the avenues by which the SP would potentially affect California jobs, and present the jobs-related effects of the SP as estimated by CARB. We then comment on CARB’s analysis and offer our own view about how the SP might affect jobs.
