>> scripps always has incredible studies. top researchers and researchers for this study used the unique data set to collect information from the ellen browning scripps pier in la jolla, california. they analyzed the relatively freshness of water, which according to the study has been measured by hand at the pier since 1916 revealing periods when the water was less salty, indicaing there was more fresh water entering from nearby streams in years where there was extreme precipitation. i spoke with oceanography ph.d. student sierra burn who led the student about the unique aspect of la jolla's pier and its proximity to a fresh water source. >> something that was interesting is that even in a region where there's not a major river that constantly has fresh water flowing, we can still see the trends in the increased precipitation years through the proxy of these freshwater plumes coming out. that was really cool, because a lot of work that looks at freshwater plumes focuses on major rivers and big streams that have tons and tons

well, this past winter produced a record snowfall in california, but a study from the scripps institution of oceanography is actually suggesting the state. >> should expect less snow in the years to come. researchers say it's due to temperatures continuing to rise across the globe. meaning less snow will fall in the sierra by the 2nd half of this century, researchers are using snow lines as an indication. that's the boundary between a snow covered and snow free surface. if you're thinking of spending the memorial day holiday outdoors, you might not be able to see year see parts of your favorite national and state parks. most of the sequoia and kings canyon national parks are off limits to the public this weekend because of crews still cleaning up damage from winter storms. however, california state parks are offering free admission to more than 100 parks for veterans and active members of the military on memorial day. so if you're interested and checking out those participating parks, you can scan the qr code that see on your screen. it will take you to a page with the full list of those

i spoke with a research meteorologist at the scripps oceanography institute about what this could mean for our sierra snow. >> on the other hand, with snowpack, we know that atmospheric rivers actually become wetter, and they produce more extreme precipitation, both rain that runs off in the wintertime and snow at the high elevations. and so even with continued warming, we are going to get extreme snowpacks at very high elevations. so the point is that they will be confined to higher elevations. >> and he's saying that we've got this record snowpack, but with the melting, it replenishes the surface water. but if it doesn't have enough time to replenish the groundwater, which gets depleted quicker than it can get replenished, it essentially puts us back in a place where it gets tricky as far as drought conditions in the long run. >> seems like it's getting trickier. >> weather extremes, a changing climate. >>> another hit for market street. old navy's longtime store in downtown san francisco is shutting down. gap, inc., which evens the store, says the flagship location will close july 1
