RISA Recent Increase in Western U.S. Streamflow Variability and Persistence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: April?September streamflow volume data from 141 unregulated basins in the western United States were analyzed for trends in year-to-year variability and persistence. Decadal time-scale changes in streamflow variability and ...
Evaluation of Official Western U.S. Seasonal Water Supply Outlooks, 1922–2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis was conducted of almost 5000 operational seasonal streamflow forecast errors across the western United States. These forecasts are for 29 unregulated rivers with diversity in geography and climate. Deterministic ...
Patterns of CO2 Variability from Global Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors present an analysis of the global midtropospheric CO2 retrieved for all-sky (clear and cloudy) conditions from measurements by the Atmospheric Infrared Radiation Sounder on board the Aqua satellite in 2003?09. ...
A Review of Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts and Their Use in Short- to Medium-Range Streamflow Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nknown future precipitation is the dominant source of uncertainty for many streamflow forecasts. Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models can be used to generate quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) to reduce this ...
Confidence Builders: Evaluating Seasonal Climate Forecasts from User Perspectives
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water managers, cattle ranchers, and wildland fire managers face several barriers to effectively using climate forecasts. Repeatedly, these decision makers state that they lack any quantitative basis for evaluating forecast ...
Influence of Stratospheric Sudden Warming on AIRS Midtropospheric CO2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idtropospheric CO2 retrievals from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) were used to explore the influence of stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) on CO2 in the middle to upper troposphere. To choose the SSW events that ...
Modulation of Midtropospheric CO2 by the South Atlantic Walker Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idtropospheric CO2 data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) are used in this study to explore the variability of CO2 over the South Atlantic Ocean. It was found that the area-averaged CO2 over the South Atlantic ...
A Decade of Spaceborne Observations of the Arctic Atmosphere: Novel Insights from NASA’s AIRS Instrument
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rctic sea ice is declining rapidly and its annual ice extent minima reached record lows twice during the last decade. Large environmental and socioeconomic implications related to sea ice reduction in a warming world ...
Influence of El Niño on Midtropospheric CO2 from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder and Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigate the influence of El Niño on midtropospheric CO2 from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers, version 2 (MOZART-2). AIRS midtropospheric CO2 data ...
Challenges of Operational River Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: killful and timely streamflow forecasts are critically important to water managers and emergency protection services. To provide these forecasts, hydrologists must predict the behavior of complex coupled human?natural ...
