Potential Responses of Permafrost to Climatic Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The nature and magnitude of climatic changes associated with anticipated global warming are considered in terms of their implications for the permafrost regions. Extensive areas where permafrost is presently within a degree ...
Comparing Mean Areal Precipitation Estimates from NEXRAD and Rain Gauge Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mean areal precipitation values (MAPX) derived from next generation weather radar (NEXRAD) stage III data are compared with mean areal precipitation (MAP) values derived from a precipitation gauge network. The gauge-derived ...
Use of Next Generation Weather Radar Data and Basin Disaggregation to Improve Continuous Hydrograph Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, the river forecasting system deployed in each of 13 River Forecast Centers of the National Weather Service primarily uses lumped parameter models to generate hydrologic simulations. With the deployment of the ...
