The U.S. Great Plains is known for frequent hazardous convective weather and climate extremes. Across this region, climate change is expected to cause more severe droughts, more intense heavy rainfall events, and subsequently more flooding episodes. These potential changes in climate will adversely affect habitats, ecosystems, and landscapes as well as the fish and wildlife they support. Better understanding and simulation of regional precipitation can help natural resource managers mitigate and adapt to these adverse impacts. In this project, we aim to achieve a better precipitation downscaling in the Great Plains with the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model and use the high quality dynamic downscaling results...

The Japanese Meteorological Agency Non-Hydrostatic Model (NHM) is nested inside the Regional Spectral Model (RSM) at 10 km grid resolution which in turn is forced at the lateral boundaries to dynamically downscale two general circulation models (GCMs) that participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The downscaled regional climate change projections were developed for two twenty-year timeslices for the high Greenhouse Gas Emission Scenario, RCP8.5. These climate change projections were developed to provide information about climate change for various climate change applications within Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. In particular, the model output parameters were saved in response to...

Global climate models (GCMs) are numerically complex, computationally intensive, physics-based research tools used to simulate our planet’s inter-connected climate system. In addition to improving the scientific understanding of how the large-scale climate system works, GCM simulations of past and future climate conditions can be useful in applied research contexts. When seeking to apply information from global-scale climate projections to address local- and regional-scale climate questions, GCM-generated datasets often undergo statistical post-processing generally known as statistical downscaling (hereafter, SD). There are many different SD techniques, with all using information from observations to address GCM...

Six global climate models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase Five (CMIP5) were dynamically downscaled to 25-km grid spacing according to the representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario using the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Regional Climate Model Version Four (RegCM4), interactively coupled to a 1D lake model to represent the Great Lakes. These GCMs include the Centre National de Recherches Meteorologiques Coupled Global Climate Model Version Five (CNRM-CM5), the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate Version Five (MIROC5), the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace Coupled Model Version Five-Medium Resolution (IPSL-CM5-MR), the Meteorological Research...

Clouds often come in contact with vegetation (often named fogs) within a certain elevation range on Hawai‘i’s mountains. Propelled by strong winds, cloud droplets are driven onto the stems and leaves of plants where they are deposited. Some of the water that accumulates on the plants in this way drips to the ground, adding additional water over and above the water supplied by rainfall. Prior observations show that the amount of cloud water intercepted by vegetation is substantial, but also quite variable from place to place. It is, therefore, important to create a map for the complex spatial patterns of cloud water interception (CWI) in Hawai‘i. In this project, we propose to create the CWI map at 0.8-km resolution...

Precipitation-related indicators for seasonal precipiation, extreme precipiation, and drought have been generated for 8701 weather stations covering the entire United States, and for a 198x337 grid (on a resolution of 1/16 th degree) covering the South Central region from the future downscaled projections using the Asynchronous Regional Regression Model. The data covers the period from 1950 to 2100. The high-resolution future projections are statistically downscaled from simulations by 12 global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (ACCESS1-0, ACCESS1-3, CCSM4, CMCC-CM, CNRM-CM5, CSIRO-Mk3.6.0, MPI-ESM-LR, HadGEM2-CC, INMCM4, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC5 and MRI-CGCM under the lower Representative...

Reference evapotranspiration (ET0), like potential evapotranspiration, is a measure of atmospheric evaporative demand. It was used in the context of this study to evaluate drought conditions that can lead to wildfire activity in Alaska using the Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI) and the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). The ET0 data are on a 20km grid with daily temporal resolution and were computed using the meteorological inputs from the dynamically downscaled ERA-Interim reanalysis and two global climate model projections (CCSM4 and GFDL-CM3). The model projections are from CMIP5 and use the RCP8.5 scenario. The dynamically downscaled data are available at https://registry.opendata.aws/wrf-alaska-snap/....
