Use of Bayesian Merging Techniques in a Multimodel Seasonal Hydrologic Ensemble Prediction System for the Eastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Skillful seasonal hydrologic predictions are useful in managing water resources, preparing for droughts and their impacts, energy planning, and many other related sectors. In this study, a seasonal hydrologic ensemble ...
Drought Characteristics and Propagation in the Semiarid Heihe River Basin in Northwestern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological and hydrological droughts can bring different socioeconomic impacts. In this study, we investigated meteorological and hydrological drought characteristics and propagation using the standardized precipitation ...
Will Future Climate Favor More Erratic Wildfires in the Western United States?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ildfires that occurred over the western United States during August 2012 were fewer in number but larger in size when compared with all other Augusts in the twenty-first century. This unique characteristic, along with the ...
WRF Model Sensitivity to Land Surface Model and Cumulus Parameterization under Short-Term Climate Extremes over the Southern Great Plains of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtreme weather and climate events, especially short-term excessive drought and wet periods over agricultural areas, have received increased attention. The Southern Great Plains (SGP) is one of the largest agricultural ...
A Multiscale Ensemble Filtering System for Hydrologic Data Assimilation. Part I: Implementation and Synthetic Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The multiscale autoregressive (MAR) framework was introduced in the last decade to process signals that exhibit multiscale features. It provides the method for identifying the multiscale structure in signals and a filtering ...
Urbanization and Rainfall Variability in the Beijing Metropolitan Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, rainfall variability in the Beijing metropolitan region and its link to urbanization during the first 10 years of the twenty-first century (2000?09) was examined. Analyses are based on both observations and ...
Evaluation of TOPMODEL-Based Land Surface–Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (TOPLATS) through a Soil Moisture Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBetter quantification of the spatiotemporal distribution of soil moisture across different spatial scales contributes significantly to the understanding of land surface processes on the Earth as an integrated system. ...
Validation of Noah-Simulated Soil Temperature in the North American Land Data Assimilation System Phase 2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil temperature can exhibit considerable memory from weather and climate signals and is among the most important initial conditions in numerical weather and climate models. Consequently, a more accurate long-term land ...
Evaluating Skill of Seasonal Precipitation and Temperature Predictions of NCEP CFSv2 Forecasts over 17 Hydroclimatic Regions in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easonal predictions of precipitation and surface air temperature from the Climate Forecast System, version 2 (CFSv2), are evaluated against gridded daily observations from 1982 to 2007 over 17 hydroclimatic regions in ...
Effects of Frozen Soil on Soil Temperature, Spring Infiltration, and Runoff: Results from the PILPS 2(d) Experiment at Valdai, Russia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Project for Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes phase 2(d) experiment at Valdai, Russia, offers a unique opportunity to evaluate land surface schemes, especially snow and frozen soil parameterizations. ...
