HPCCprojects:HPC-research-00016 + (The High-Resolution Regional Climate Model … The High-Resolution Regional Climate Modeling project uses the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (ARW) to simulate projected climate based on Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Model (AOGCM)boundary and initial conditions. Regional solutions include much of North America and projections currently extend to 2050.'''Objectives:''' The main objective of this project is to provide high-resolution climate projections in support of research and management needs for wildlife and water resources. Funded projects include modeling response of migratory birds to projected climate change in the Great Plains, response of karst aquifers and associated stygobitic (subterranean) fauna to climate change, effects to ecosystems in National Parks and Monuments, and snowpack modeling in the Northern Rockies. Several such studies require projections of surface temperature and precipitation at daily time steps, and additional climate variables such as winds and temperatures aloft, snowpack, soil moisture, and evapotranspiration. ARW is used to simulate these variables.ration. ARW is used to simulate these variables.)

HPCCprojects:HPC-research-00011 + (The vegetation structure and topography ar … The vegetation structure and topography are the primary factors affecting the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth. Considering the fact that 33 % of the earth surface consists of vegetation it is very important to understand how vegetation affects the variability of solar radiation as it makes it way to the ground surface. This can help us understand how much of variability in surface solar radiation is caused by vegetation structure. This can help us answer several pertinent questions such as: How does the vegetation structure affect the variability of solar radiation on the earth surface? How does this variability scale up on large spatial scales? What is the relative effect of topography and vegetation structure on the surface solar radiation? How is the variability in solar radition relates with variability in vegetation structural parameters such as canopy height, (Leaf Area Index) LAI , fractional canopy cover etc. One of the main challenges in estimating surface solar radiation is the surface heterogeneity and its effect therein on surface solar radiation. The is the first work of its kind which tries to understand the interplay of solar radiation with three dimensional vegetation structure and topography using waveform lidar remote sensing. This work presented here also addresses the effect of vegetation on solar radiation variability at a landscape level.'''Relevance to hydrological and snow science'''Solar energy drives the hydrological cycle. Solar radiation along with terrain characteristics are the main factors affecting this cycle. In most of the hydrological studies the solar energy estimation over the vegetation areas is either neglected or it is over simplifies by considering vegetation as a turbid medium or using LAI as a proxy for the amount of vegetation. Incorporating the effect of 3-D vegetation structure would help us understand the hydrological cycle and snowmelt better. It will also lead to better estimation of soil moisture, hydrological flow and snowmelt. moisture, hydrological flow and snowmelt.)

HPCCprojects:HPC-research-00020 + (Valley glacier moraines are commonly used … Valley glacier moraines are commonly used to infer past mean annual precipitation and mean melt-season temperature. However, recent research has demonstrated that, even in steady climates, multi-decadal, kilometer-scale fluctuations in glacier length occur in response to stochastic, year-to-year variability in mass balance. When interpreting moraine sequences it is important to include the effect of interannual weather variability on glacier length; moraines record advances that are forced either by interannual variability or by a combination of climate change and interannual variability. Our hope is to help establish the metrics needed to determine if a past glacier advance was caused by interannual variability or a climate change.'''Objectives:'''# Assess the importance of year-to-year climate variability (weather) on glacier length in a variety of climate settings# Create quantitative metrics to test if a glacier length change could be caused by weather variability.ge could be caused by weather variability.)

HPCCprojects:HPC-research-00006 + (We are seeking to develop a SWE monitoring … We are seeking to develop a SWE monitoring technique that can leverage both point scale measurements and spatially explicit patterns of SWE from remote sensing in near real-time. Current estimates of SWE distribution are frequently interpolated from point measurements based on physiographics with a observations of SCA occasionally used to constrain modeled values. Statistical models relating physiography and SNOTEL SWE only explain up to ~15% of the observed variability and thus these techniques provide limited credibility for water resource applications. Recent improvements in SWE estimates have been obtained using SWE reconstruction models whereby satellite data of SCA are coupled with fully distributed energy balance modeling to reconstruct peak snow mass. The first goal of this project is to combine a statistical interpolation model with remote-sensing based spatially distributed reconstructed SWE to augment resources available to water managers. The second goal of this project is to incorporate explicitly modeled patterns of SWE and use it as a spatial distribution field for winter precipitation in a streamflow modeling exercise. The intention is to examine the sensitivity and potential improvement in simulated streamflow timing and volume due to an improved representation of the physiographic distribution of SWE. of the physiographic distribution of SWE.)
