A Bias-Corrected Siberian Regional Precipitation Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A methodology for correcting the Tretyakov gauge-measured daily precipitation for wind-induced undercatch and trace amounts of precipitation is presented and applied at 61 climate stations in Siberian regions for 1986 to ...
Streamflow Characteristics and Changes in Kolyma Basin in Siberia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study documents major changes in streamflow hydrology over the Kolyma watershed due to climatic variations and human impacts. Streamflow seasonal cycles over the basin are characteristic of the northern region, with ...
Discharge Characteristics and Changes over the Ob River Watershed in Siberia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study analyzes long-term (1936?90) monthly streamflow records for the major subbasins within the Ob River watershed in order to examine discharge changes induced by human activities (particularly reservoirs and ...
Catch Characteristics of Precipitation Gauges in High-Latitude Regions with High Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intercomparison of solid precipitation measurement at Barrow, Alaska, has been carried out to examine the catch characteristics of various precipitation gauges in high-latitude regions with high winds and to evaluate the ...
Warming Water in Arctic Terrestrial Rivers under Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRecent years have seen an obvious warming trend in the Arctic. Streamflow and water temperature Tw are important parameters representing the changes of Arctic rivers under climate change. However, few quantitative ...
A Bias-Corrected Precipitation Climatology for China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the results of bias corrections of Chinese standard precipitation gauge (CSPG) measurements for wind-induced undercatch, a trace amount of precipitation, and wetting loss. Long-term daily data of ...
An Extreme Rainfall/Runoff Event in Arctic Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall-generated floods in the Arctic are rare and seldom documented. The authors were fortunate in July 1999 to monitor such a flood on the Upper Kuparuk River in response to a 50-h duration rainfall event that produced ...
The Impact of Climatic Conditions on Seasonal River Discharges in Siberia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influences of surface climate conditions and atmospheric circulation on seasonal river discharges of the Ob, Yenisei, and Lena River basins during 1936?95 have been examined and quantified. Climatic variables include ...
Quantification of Warming Climate-Induced Changes in Terrestrial Arctic River Ice Thickness and Phenology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: land process model [the coupled hydrological and biogeochemical model (CHANGE)] is used to quantitatively assess changes in the ice phenology, thickness, and volume of terrestrial Arctic rivers from 1979 to 2009. The CHANGE ...
Accuracy of NWS 8" Standard Nonrecording Precipitation Gauge: Results and Application of WMO Intercomparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The standard 8" nonrecording precipitation gauge has been used historically by the National Weather Service (NWS) as the official precipitation measurement instrument of the U.S. climate station network. From 1986 to 1992, ...
