The Intermediate Complexity Atmospheric Research Model (ICAR)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ith limited computational resources, there is a need for computationally frugal models. This is particularly the case for atmospheric sciences, which have long relied on either simplistic analytical solutions or computationally ...
Our Skill in Modeling Mountain Rain and Snow is Bypassing the Skill of Our Observational Networks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In mountain terrain, well-configured high-resolution atmospheric models are able to simulate total annual rain and snowfall better than spatial estimates derived from in situ observational networks of precipitation gauges, ...
High-Elevation Precipitation Patterns: Using Snow Measurements to Assess Daily Gridded Datasets across the Sierra Nevada, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ridded spatiotemporal maps of precipitation are essential for hydrometeorological and ecological analyses. In the United States, most of these datasets are developed using the Cooperative Observer (COOP) network of ...
Modeling Rainfall Interception Loss for an Epiphyte-Laden Quercus virginiana Forest Using Reformulated Static- and Variable-Storage Gash Analytical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arrier island forests are sensitive to changing precipitation characteristics as they typically rely on a precipitation-fed freshwater lens. Understanding and predicting significant rainfall losses is, therefore, critical ...
Contribution of Meteorological Downscaling to Skill and Precision of Seasonal Drought Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Comparison of Statistical and Dynamical Downscaling of Winter Precipitation over Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tatistical downscaling is widely used to improve spatial and/or temporal distributions of meteorological variables from regional and global climate models. This downscaling is important because climate models are spatially ...
Vegetation Representation Influences Projected Streamflow Changes in the Colorado River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
