Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
For this project, the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology (CIROH) team will perform research to support, enhance, and extend the development of NOAA Atlas 15 products incorporating non-stationarity and future climate conditions (herein called Atlas 15).
Atlas 15 will examine historical data for trends in extreme precipitation and use new methodology to develop seamless continental United States-wide precipitation frequency estimates for the current state. This will also incorporate global climate model (GCM) data to understand the impacts of a changing climate on extreme precipitation. This can only be accomplished by understanding the best methods to downscale GCM data to a spatial and temporal resolution required.
Additionally, research will be performed that will build upon recent efforts to develop areal reduction factors (ARFs) to translate point precipitation frequency data into watershed information needed by dam owners and civil engineers.
