Tuesday, 20 September 2016
The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a
webinar entitled "Dynamical downscaling for Alaska: what is it and how
to use it?" The webinar will be presented by Rick Lader and Peter
Bieniek, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Climate-scale variability and change often has local effects not
resolved in spatially coarse reanalysis and global climate model output.
Downscaling bridges this gap by providing locally-relevant climate
information for your backyard. One method of downscaling uses a regional
dynamical model to produce the needed higher resolution grids and is the
focus of this presentation. The presenters will discuss unique
value-added products such as rain-on-snow and extreme events as well as
data-quality and uncertainty issues.

Participation in person is also available at the University of Alaska
Fairbanks, Akasofu Building, Room 407. Participants are welcome to bring
their lunch.

The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a
webinar entitled "National Weather Service Alaska Climate Forecast
Briefings, September 2016." The primary speaker will be Rick Thoman,
National Weather Service Alaska Region.
Webinar Summary:
Do you lie awake at nights wondering what the upcoming season will be
like? Want to place bets with friends and family on next month's
weather? If so, good news:
The tools and techniques for making monthly and season scale climate
forecasts are rapidly changing, with the potential to provide useful
forecasts at the month and longer range. Rick Thoman (Climate Science
and Services Manager, Environmental and Scientific Services Division,
National Weather Service Alaska Region) will review recent climate
conditions around Alaska, review forecast tools and finish up with the
Climate Prediction Center's forecast for the upcoming season.
Rick will also present a "Feature-of-the-Month" special addition in
which each month he will highlight a topic relevant to the particular
month.

their lunch.
The National Weather Service Alaska Climate Forecast Briefings will be a
monthly series generally taking place the third Friday of each month.
