RISNumerical Prediction of Precipitation and River Flow over the Russian River Watershed during the January 1995 California Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation and river flow during a January 1995 flood event over the Russian River watershed in the northern Coastal Range of California were simulated using the University of California Lawrence Livermore National ...
Analysis of the Impact of Snow on Daily Weather Variability in Mountainous Regions Using MM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impacts of snow on daily weather variability, as well as the mechanisms of snowmelt over the Sierra Nevada, California?Nevada, mountainous region, were studied using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National ...
Development of a Coupled Land Surface and Groundwater Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Traditional land surface models (LSMs) used for numerical weather simulation, climate projection, and as inputs to water management decision support systems, do not treat the LSM lower boundary in a fully process-based ...
Uncertainty Propagation of Regional Climate Model Precipitation Forecasts to Hydrologic Impact Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Monte Carlo framework is adopted for propagating uncertainty in dynamically downscaled seasonal forecasts of area-averaged daily precipitation to associated streamflow response calculations. Daily precipitation is modeled ...
Climate, Extreme Heat, and Electricity Demand in California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the twenty-first century, the frequency of extreme-heat events for major cities in heavily air conditioned California is projected to increase rapidly. Extreme heat is defined here as the temperature threshold for the ...
Geostatistical Mapping of Precipitation from Rain Gauge Data Using Atmospheric and Terrain Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A geostatistical framework for integrating lower-atmosphere state variables and terrain characteristics into the spatial interpolation of rainfall is presented. Lower-atmosphere state variables considered are specific ...
Observed 1970–2005 Cooling of Summer Daytime Temperatures in Coastal California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study evaluated 1950?2005 summer [June?August (JJA)] mean monthly air temperatures for two California air basins: the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) and the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA). The study focuses on the more ...
River Flow Response to Precipitation and Snow Budget in California during the 1994/95 Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical study of precipitation and river flow from November 1994 to May 1995 at two California basins is presented. The Hopland watershed of the Russian River in the northern California Coastal Range and the headwater ...
Modeling Air–Land–Sea Interactions Using the Integrated Regional Model System in Monterey Bay, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he air?land?sea interaction in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, California, is simulated and investigated using a new Integrated Regional Model System (I-RMS). This new model realistically resolves coastal processes and ...
A Seasonal Precipitation and Stream Flow Hindcast and Prediction Study in the Western United States during the 1997/98 Winter Season Using a Dynamic Downscaling System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present a seasonal hindcast and prediction of precipitation in the western United States and stream flow in a northern California coastal basin for December 1997?February 1998 (DJF) using the Regional Climate ...
