Simulation of an Arctic Ground Blizzard Using a Coupled Blowing Snow–Atmosphere Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A ground blizzard occurred from 16 to 18 November 1996 in the northern sectors of the Mackenzie River basin of Canada and the adjacent Beaufort Sea. This hazardous event, accompanied by a low-level jet with wind speeds ...
Modeling the Effects of Wind Redistribution on the Snow Mass Budget of Polar Sea Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model of blowing snow specifically designed for sea ice environments is presented. This new model is used to quantify the snow mass lost because of blowing snow into leads, blowing snow sublimation, ...
Linking Atmospheric Rivers to Annual and Extreme River Runoff in British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Shifting Spatial and Temporal Patterns in the Onset of Seasonally Snow-Dominated Conditions in the Northern Hemisphere, 1972–2017
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe potential for anthropogenic climate change to impact patterns of seasonal snow cover has motivated numerous studies seeking trends in its extent and duration. Many have been based on the NOAA-Rutgers record of ...
Future Climate Change Impacts on Snow and Water Resources of the Fraser River Basin, British Columbia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges in air temperature and precipitation can modify snowmelt-driven runoff in snowmelt-dominated regimes. This study focuses on climate change impacts on the snow hydrology of the Fraser River basin (FRB) of British ...
On the Changing Contribution of Snow to the Hydrology of the Fraser River Basin, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents an application of the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model to the Fraser River basin (FRB) of British Columbia (BC), Canada, over the latter half of the twentieth century. The Fraser River is the ...
Modeling Snow-Cover Heterogeneity over Complex Arctic Terrain for Regional and Global Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The small-scale (10 to 100 m) and local-scale (100 m to 10 km) effects of topography (elevation, slope, and aspect) and snow redistribution by wind on the evolution of the snowmelt are investigated. The chosen study area ...
Onboard Real-Time Absolute Radiometric Calibration for Thermal Infrared Channels of Chinese Geostationary Meteorological Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Forty-one cloud-free images of Qinghai Lake (QHL) in China and the corresponding digital numbers (DNs) of FengYun-2C (FY-2C) at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC from 1 July to 30 September 2005 are analyzed. The corresponding ...
Relationships between Recent Pan-Arctic Snow Cover and Hydroclimate Trends
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface model forced with gridded climatic observations, the authors reproduce spatial and temporal variations of snow cover extent (SCE) reported by the National Oceanic ...
Characteristics and Trends of River Discharge into Hudson, James, and Ungava Bays, 1964–2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics and trends of observed river discharge into the Hudson, James, and Ungava Bays (HJUBs) for the period 1964?2000 are investigated. Forty-two rivers with outlets into these bays contribute on average 714 ...
