NARCCAP Model Assessment and Future Projections For the Southeast United States
… Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) in the Southeast United States. Analysis uses a suite of statistical measures to assess model skill in hindcasting minimum and maximum temperature and mean precipitation during an historical reference period, 1970-1999. It identifies model …

The evaluation of NARCCAP regional climate models using the North American Regional Reanalysis
… Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and reanalysis data from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) is performed for the contiguous United States (CONUS). NCEP-driven RCM runs from 1981-2000 were validated to discern the biases that exist solely due to the RCM. To …

MODELLING DRY AND WET EXTREMES OVER THE CANADIAN PRAIRIE PROVINCES BASED ON THE DYNAMICAL DOWNSCALING AND MULTIVARIATE FREQUENCY ANALYSIS APPROACHES
… Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). This region of Canada is characterized by highly variable hydroclimate, with recurrent droughts and floods and localized summer convective storm activity often resulting in heavy precipitation events and thus poses many challenges for …

How Climate Change Could Affect The Water Supply of Potash of Potash Solution Mining in Southern Saskatchewan
… of regional climate models (RCMs) from the NARCCAP and CORDEX scientific programs. The observed runoff and its annual cycle over 1971-2000 was simulated using seven different runoff estimation methods, total runoff (mrro), surface runoff (mrros), four aridity indices (Budyko, Ol’dekop, …

Modeling Climate Change Impacts on the Effectiveness of Stormwater Control Measures in Urban Watersheds
… North American Regional CC Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) to forecast precipitation and temperature time series. This data were then used to force a Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) of the Difficult Run watershed of Fairfax County, …

Impacts of climate changes on the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation in the western United States
… Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) RCMs with both historical simulations (1968-2000) and future simulations (2038-2070) are evaluated. Results illustrate that NARCCAP RCMs are consistent with observed precipitation in the seasonal variation of storm duration and inter-storm …

Climate extremes over the Mid-Atlantic states: a regional approach
… Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) and the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) to compare a late 20th century reference period to a mid-21st century business as usual (RCP8.5 and SRES A2) greenhouse gas-forcing scenario. Additionally, I used CMIP3 and CMIP5 …

Simulation des débits d'étiage dans un contexte de changements climatiques : incertitude liée au choix du modèle et au critère de calage
… de douze projections climatiques (5 MRCC, 7 NARCCAP). Pour GR4J, les résultats montrent une aggravation significative des étiages futurs. En comparaison avec l’emploi du critère NSE, l’utilisation d’un critère de calage orienté vers les étiages permet de mieux les simuler et de minimiser …

Extreme value theory: Applications to estimation of stochastic traffic capacity and statistical downscaling of precipitation extremes
… (from NCDC station data) and corresponding NARCCAP regional climate model (RCM) output to derive local-scale projections. These high-resolution projections are essential in assessing the impacts of projected climate change. The downscaling method is performed on 58 locations throughout New …

UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION IN DOWNSCALING OF PRECIPITATION EXTREMES AND ITS APPLICATION TO NEW ENGLAND
… Regional Climate Change and Assessment Program (NARCCAP) to daily precipitation data of 58 weather stations in the New England region. A total of eight RCM_GCM models were considered in our study.</p> <p>The uncertainty from parametric distribution modeling was reduced by extending the …
