Downscaling Future Climate Projections to the Watershed Scale: a North San Francisco Bay Estuary Case Study
Description: "We modeled the hydrology of basins draining into the northern portion of the San Francisco Bay Estuary (North San Pablo Bay) using a regional water balance model (Basin Characterization Model; BCM) to estimate potential effects of climate change at the w

Future projections and uncertainty assessment of extreme rainfall intensity in the United States from an ensemble of climate models
Description: "Changes in climate are expected to lead to changes in the characteristics extreme rainfall frequency and intensity. In this study, we propose an integrated approach to explore potential changes in intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relationships. The app

Communication of the role of natural variability in future North American climate
Description: "As climate models improve, decision-makers' expectations for accurate climate predictions are growing. Natural climate variability, however, poses inherent limits to climate predictability and the related goal of adaptation guidance in many places, as il

Preparing Hydro-climate Inputs for Climate Change in Water Resource Planning
Description: "This module describes the process of selecting the best available climate projection information and using it to develop 'climate-adjusted weather' inputs to be used for modeling climate change impacts. These modeled impacts can be used for planning of f

National Strategy for Advancing Climate Modeling
Description: "Climate models will need to evolve substantially to deliver climate projections at the scale and level of detail desired by decision makers, this report finds. As climate change has pushed climate patterns outside of historic norms, the need for detailed

Urban Water Demand in California to 2100: Incorporating Climate Change
Description: "For this study, the Pacific Institute has developed a computer model to integrate many of these factors into a simulation of California's future urban water use to the year 2100. Urban water use refers to water used in cities and suburbs, and in homes in
