Quantifying Streamflow Forecast Skill Elasticity to Initial Condition and Climate Prediction Skill
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ater resources management decisions commonly depend on monthly to seasonal streamflow forecasts, among other kinds of information. The skill of such predictions derives from the ability to estimate a watershed?s initial ...
How Does the Choice of Distributed Meteorological Data Affect Hydrologic Model Calibration and Streamflow Simulations?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: patially distributed historical meteorological forcings (temperature and precipitation) are commonly incorporated into modeling efforts for long-term natural resources planning. For water management decisions, it is critical ...
Hydrologic Implications of Different Large-Scale Meteorological Model Forcing Datasets in Mountainous Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rocess-based hydrologic models require extensive meteorological forcing data, including data on precipitation, temperature, shortwave and longwave radiation, humidity, surface pressure, and wind speed. Observations of ...
Gridded Ensemble Precipitation and Temperature Estimates for the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ridded precipitation and temperature products are inherently uncertain because of myriad factors, including interpolation from a sparse observation network, measurement representativeness, and measurement errors. Generally ...
Effects of Hydrologic Model Choice and Calibration on the Portrayal of Climate Change Impacts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he assessment of climate change impacts on water resources involves several methodological decisions, including choices of global climate models (GCMs), emission scenarios, downscaling techniques, and hydrologic modeling ...
Implications of the Methodological Choices for Hydrologic Portrayals of Climate Change over the Contiguous United States: Statistically Downscaled Forcing Data and Hydrologic Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontinental-domain assessments of climate change impacts on water resources typically rely on statistically downscaled climate model outputs to force hydrologic models at a finer spatial resolution. This study examines the ...
Understanding Uncertainties in Future Colorado River Streamflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ado River is the primary water source for more than 30 million people in the United States and Mexico. Recent studies that project streamf low changes in the Colorado River all project annual declines, but the magnitude ...
