SUMMARY:(2015) WSWC/CDWR Workshop on Sub-Seasonal and Seasonal Precipitation Forecasting
DESCRIPTION:WSWC/CDWR Workshop on Sub-Seasonal and Seasonal Precipitation Forecasting\n\nThe Western States Water Council and the California Department of Water Resources cosponsored a workshop on precipitation forecasting held May 27-29, 2015 in San Diego, California.\nREPORT: Workshop on Improving Sub-Seasonal and Seasonal Precipitation Forecasting for Drought Preparedness ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Seasonal-Forecasting-Workshop-Report_2015May_web.pdf )\nWORKSHOP PURPOSE: The purpose of the workshop was to develop a Western vision for improving precipitation forecasting at timescales beyond the two-week weather forecast time domain, loosely modeled after the Council’s vision for an observing network for Western extreme precipitation. Improved forecasts of precipitation at longer timescales can be used for many purposes, such as interstate compact or water rights administration, planning for local water agency supply deliveries, or flood season preparedness. Forecasting needs vary not only with the purpose of a forecast, but also with geographic location, because the seasonal pattern of storm activity and large storm types varies with location. Improved skill in precipitation forecasting can be achieved by improving prediction of large storm types, such as atmospheric rivers on the West Coast or the monsoon in the Southwest.\nA workshop summary report will be prepared, with the intent of using the report to inform a dialog with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center on taking advantage of prediction skill that may be available at a regional (Western) scale to improve the outlooks now issued at a national scale. The workshop’s ultimate goal is to advance the Council’s position calling on the federal government to improve precipitation forecasting.\n \n \n \nAGENDA:  Improving Sub-Seasonal and Seasonal Precipitation Forecasting ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Revised-Forecasting-workshop-May-2015-draft-agenda.doc )\nPRESENTATIONS:\nMay 27, 2015\nOpening Remarks ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Jones_opening-remarks.pdf ), Jeanine Jones, Interstate Resources Manager, California Department of Water Resources (CDWR)\nNOAA’s California Drought Service Assessment ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Werner_CA-Drought-Service-Assessment.pdf ), Kevin Werner, Western Regional Climate Services Director, NOAA\nActivities of NOAA’s NWS Climate Prediction Center ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Gottschalck.pdf ), Jon Gottschalck, Chief, Operational Prediction Branch, Climate Prediction Center (CPC)\nThe National Weather Service: Western Region Perspective ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Cooper_NWS-WRH.pdf ), Grant Cooper, Director, Western Region National Weather Service (NWS)\nForecasting Needs of NWS River Forecast Centers (RFCs) and Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs)\nNOAA’s NWS California-Nevada River Forecast Center ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Hartman.pdf ), Rob Hartman, Hydrologist in Charge\nColorado Basin River Forecast Center ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Lhotak_cbrfc.pdf ), John Lhotak, Development and Operations Hydrologist\nSan Diego Weather Forecast Office ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Pierce.pdf ), Roger Pierce, Meteorologist\nMay 28, 2015\nNOAA’s Research Program\nImproving Seasonal-to-Decadal Climate Understanding and Prediction ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Ramaswamy.pdf ), V. “Ram” Ramaswamy, Director\nRegional-Scale Research Projects\nBuilding an Atmospheric Rivers Catalog Using Big Data Approach ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Sorooshian.pdf ), Soroosh Sorooshian, Distinguished Professor, University of California (UC) at Irvine\nConditioning an Analog Years Database ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/AghaKouchak-15_DWR_UCSD.pdf ), Amir Aghakouchak, Assistant Professor, UC Irvine\nProbabilistic Seasonal Predictin of Drought using Long-Term Precipitation and Temperature Data ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Behrang.pdf ), Ali Behrangi, Scientist, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)\nWestern State Climatologists Perspectives on Precipitation Forecasting\nSeasonal Forecasting – California Perspectives ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Anderson_Seasonal-Forecasting.pdf ), Mike Anderson, State Climatologist, CDWR\nOregon’s Drought and Seasonal Forecasting ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/dello-SanDiego_drought.pdf ), Kathie Dello, Associate Director, Climate Change Research Institute, Oregon State University\nPerspectives in Sub-Seasonal and Seasonal Forecasts in New Mexico ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/DuBois_Perspectives-from-NM.pdf ), David DuBois, State Climatologist, New Mexico State University\nNOAA’s Research Programs\nModeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections Program ( https://westernstateswater.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Barrie-2015_05_28_WSWC_Seasonal.pdf ), Dan Barrie, Program Manager, NOAA’s Climate Program Office\nForecasting Needs and Water Agency Perspectives – Drought Preparedness and Response\nWill it Rain in Texas?
