SUMMARY:(2018) WSWC/CDWR Workshop on Improving S2S Precipitation Forecasting and Pilot Projects
DESCRIPTION:Improving Sub-seasonal to Seasonal (S2S) Precipitation Forecasting to Support Water Management Decision-making\n\nThe Western States Water Council and the California Department of Water Resources cosponsored workshop in a recurring series continuing a dialogue among western states and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, and the research community on improving sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) precipitation forecasting to support water management decision-making.  The agenda included topics addressing progress being made in forecasting atmospheric river storms beyond a two-week weather model time scale\, assimilation of new research observations into NOAA’s weather models\, scoping a pilot project for improving S2S precipitation forecasting to support Colorado River Basin drought contingency planning\, and the new forecast-informed reservoir operations (FIRO) pilot project on the Santa Ana River. \nThe workshop was held in San Diego\, California on May 14-16\, 2018 at the Doubletree San Diego Downtown.  It included an optional field trip on May 17 to the Orange County Water District’s groundwater recharge facilities\, which constitute part of the Santa Ana River (FIRO) pilot project. \nAGENDA:  S2S Workshop Agenda \nPRESENTATIONS: \nMay 14\, 2018 \nWorkshop Background – Jeanine Jones\, California Department of Water Resources (CDWR)\nAdvancing NOAA’s Subseasonal and Seasonal Prediction in Support of the Weather Act of 2017 (PL115-25\, 201) – Dave DeWitt\, National Weather Service\, Climate Prediction Center\nReaping the Benefits of California’s Investment in Observations & Research – Mike Anderson\, CDWR\nIncorporating Satellite Data into Weather\, Climate and other Predictive Models – Stephanie Granger\, National Atmospheric and Space Administration\, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA JPL)\nReclamation’s Sub-Seasonal Climate Forecast Rodeo\, Participants’ Performance to Date – Dave Raff\, Bureau of Reclamation\nJune 2018 International Atmospheric Rivers Conference – Anna Wilson\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography \nMay 15\, 2018 \nSub-seasonal to Seasonal Forecasting and Predictive Needs in Texas – Nelun Fernando\, Texas Water Development Board (by phone\nImproving 1-4 week NOAA Precipitation Forecasts for California – Tom Hamill\, NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab & Mike Anderson\, CDWR\nOregon Applications for S2S Forecasting and Atmospheric River Information – Keith Mills\, Oregon Water Resources Department\nExperimental S2S Forecasts for California: Wet/AR and Dry/Ridging Conditions – Duane Waliser\, NASA JPL\nScripps Atmospheric River Activities including This Winter’s Observations in the Pacific Northwest – Marty Ralph\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography\nSeasonal Prediction of Western United States Snowpack – Sarah Kapnick\, NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab\nImportance of Seasonal Forecasting in the Colorado River Basin – Colby Pellegrino\, Southern Nevada Water Authority\nS2S Prediction Research at Colorado State University – Cory Baggett\, Colorado State University \nMay 16\, 2018 \nClosed/Cut-Off Low Pressure Systems – What They Are and Forecasting Challenges – Roger Pierce\, WestFAST & National Weather Service (NWS)\nMechanisms Contributing to Cool-Season Precipitation in the Upper Colorado River Basin – Pending Work for CDWR – Ben Hatchett\, Western Regional Climate Center\nFollow-up Potential for Prior Reclamation-Funded Research on Inland-Penetrating Atmospheric Rivers – Kelly Mahoney\, NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab\nForecasting Challenges in Upper Colorado River Basin – John Lhotak\, Colorado Basin River Forecast Center (by phone)\nThis Winter’s Southern California Forecasting Challenges – Alex Tardy\, NWS San Diego\nStatus of Research Pilot Projects on Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations – Jay Jasperse\, Sonoma County Water Agency (Lake Mendocino)\nReplenishing Groundwater for Sustainability –Adam Hutchinson\, Orange County Water District \nStory in Earth Magazine –\nRivers in the sky: Improving predictions of atmospheric rivers to reduce risk by Steve Murray
