Parameterization of Blowing-Snow Sublimation in a Macroscale Hydrology Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm that parameterizes the topographically induced subgrid variability in wind speed, snow transport, and blowing-snow sublimation was designed for use within macroscale hydrology models and other large-scale land ...
Factors Governing Winter Snow Accumulation and Ablation Susceptibility across the Sierra Nevada (United States)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Global and Continental Drought in the Second Half of the Twentieth Century: Severity–Area–Duration Analysis and Temporal Variability of Large-Scale Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using observation-driven simulations of global terrestrial hydrology and a cluster algorithm that searches for spatially connected regions of soil moisture, the authors identified 296 large-scale drought events (greater ...
A Long-Term Hydrologically Based Dataset of Land Surface Fluxes and States for the Conterminous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A frequently encountered difficulty in assessing model-predicted land?atmosphere exchanges of moisture and energy is the absence of comprehensive observations to which model predictions can be compared at the spatial and ...
Forecasting the Hydroclimatic Signature of the 2015/16 El Niño Event on the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ry conditions in 2013?16 in much of the western United States were responsible for severe drought and led to an exceptional fire season in the Pacific Northwest in 2015. Winter 2015/16 was forecasted to relieve drought in ...
Toward a Unified View of the American Monsoon Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An important goal of the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) research on the American monsoon systems is to determine the sources and limits of predictability of warm season precipitation, with emphasis on ...
Hydrological Aspects of Weather Prediction and Flood Warnings: Report of the Ninth Prospectus Development Team of the U.S. Weather Research Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Among the many natural disasters that disrupt human and industrial activity in the United States each year, including tornadoes, hurricanes, extreme temperatures, and lightning, floods are among the most devastating and ...
The Observed State of the Water Cycle in the Early Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study quantifies mean annual and monthly fluxes of Earth?s water cycle over continents and ocean basins during the first decade of the millennium. To the extent possible, the flux estimates are based on satellite ...
The Observed State of the Energy Budget in the Early Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ew objectively balanced observation-based reconstructions of global and continental energy budgets and their seasonal variability are presented that span the golden decade of Earth-observing satellites at the start of the ...
Cabauw Experimental Results from the Project for Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Project for Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes phase 2a experiment, meteorological data for the year 1987 from Cabauw, the Netherlands, were used as inputs to 23 land-surface flux schemes ...
