Introduces students to modeling techniques. Focus areas include physical hydrology and hydrometeorology; measurement and inference; climate change impacts; role of scale in hydrology; uncertainty analysis; and a case study project. Projects will examine hydrologic impacts of various drivers such as climate warming or land cover change, utilizing an assessment of historic conditions to better understand and model future disturbance scenarios.
Similar methodology to above, a data set of observed daily and monthly averaged precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature, gridded to a 1/16° (~6km) resolution spanning CONUS and the Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin, with temporal coverage 1915-2011. The precipitation is adjusted for orographic effects using an elevation-aware*1961-1990 precipitation climatology.
The model parameters used to simulate the hydrologic fluxes and states in the two data above sets are available hereon the Livneh Research Group server. These parameters represent the culmination of numerous calibration efforts including those conducted by Maurer et al. (2002), Zhu et al.
A data set of observed daily and monthly averaged precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature, gridded to a 1/16° (~6km) resolution that spans the entire country of Mexico, the conterminous U.S. (CONUS), and regions of Canada south of 53º N for the period 1950-2013. The dataset improves previous products in spatial extent, orographic precipitation adjustment over Mexico and parts of Canada, and reduction of transboundary discontinuities. The precipitation is adjusted for orographic effects using an elevation-aware 1981-2010 precipitation climatology.
