RISObserved Climate–Snowpack Relationships in California and their Implications for the Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of the California Sierra Nevada snowpack has been conducted using snow station observations and reanalysis surface temperature data. Monthly snow water equivalent (SWE) measurements were combined from two datasets ...
Controls of Global Snow under a Changed Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study assesses the ability of a newly developed high-resolution coupled model from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory to simulate the cold-season hydroclimate in the present climate and examines its response to ...
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, ...
The Influence of CO2 Forcing on North American Monsoon Moisture Surges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWidespread multiday convective bursts in the southwestern United States during the North American monsoon are often triggered by Gulf of California moisture surges (GoC surges). However, how GoC surges, and the ...
On the Angola Low Interannual Variability and Its Role in Modulating ENSO Effects in Southern Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Angola low is a summertime low pressure system that affects the convergence of low-level moisture fluxes into southern Africa. Interannual variations of the Angola low reduce the seasonal prediction skills for ...
High-Impact Extratropical Cyclones along the Northeast Coast of the United States in a Long Coupled Climate Model Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractHigh-impact extratropical cyclones (ETCs) cause considerable damage along the northeast coast of the United States through strong winds and inundation, but these relatively rare events are difficult to analyze owing ...
Mapping Large-Scale Climate Variability to Hydrological Extremes: An Application of the Linear Inverse Model to Subseasonal Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
100-Year Lower Mississippi Floods in a Global Climate Model: Characteristics and Future Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFloods in the Mississippi basin can have large negative societal, natural, and economic impacts. Understanding the drivers of floods, now and in the future, is relevant for risk management and infrastructure-planning ...
The Resolution Dependence of Contiguous U.S. Precipitation Extremes in Response to CO2 Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation extremes have a widespread impact on societies and ecosystems; it is therefore important to understand current and future patterns of extreme precipitation. Here, a set of new global coupled climate models ...
Causes and Probability of Occurrence of Extreme Precipitation Events like Chennai 2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUnprecedented high-intensity flooding induced by extreme precipitation was reported over Chennai in India during November?December of 2015, which led to extensive damage to human life and property. It is of utmost ...
