Evaluation of Precipitation Products for Global Hydrological Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate precipitation data are critical for hydrologic prediction, yet outside the developed world in situ networks are so sparse as to make alternative methods of precipitation estimation essential. Several such alternative ...
Calibration and Downscaling Methods for Quantitative Ensemble Precipitation Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two approaches for downscaling and calibrating error estimates from ensemble precipitation forecasts are evaluated; the two methods are intended to be used to produce flood forecasts based on global weather forecasts in ...
Sensitivity of Regulated Flow Regimes to Climate Change in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWater management activities modify water fluxes at the land surface and affect water resources in space and time. Conventional understanding on the role of water management suggests that regulated river flow would ...
Application of a Medium-Range Global Hydrologic Probabilistic Forecast Scheme to the Ohio River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 10-day globally applicable flood prediction scheme was evaluated using the Ohio River basin as a test site for the period 2003?07. The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrology model was initialized with the European ...
The Role of Climate Forecasts in Western U.S. Power Planning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The benefits of potential electric power transfers between the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and California (CA) are evaluated using a linked set of hydrologic, reservoir, and power demand simulation models for the Columbia River ...
Evaluating Global Streamflow Simulations by a Physically Based Routing Model Coupled with the Community Land Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurately simulating hydrological processes such as streamflow is important in land surface modeling because they can influence other land surface processes, such as carbon cycle dynamics, through various interaction ...
