An assessment of future extreme precipitation in western Norway using a linear model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-26)A Linear Model (Smith and Barstad, 2004) was used to dynamically downscale Orographic Precipitation over western Norway from twelve General Circulation Model simulations. The GCM simulations come from the A1B emissions ... -
Extracting statistical parameters of extreme precipitation from a NWP model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-11-25)Precipitation simulations on an 8×8 km grid using the PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model MM5 are used to estimate the M5 and Ci statistical parameters in order to support the M5 map used for flood estimates by Icelandic engineers. ... -
Groundwater fluctuations during a debris flow event in western Norway - Triggered by rain and snowmelt
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Pore pressure is crucial in triggering debris slides and flows. Here we present measurements of groundwater pore pressure and temperature recorded by a piezometer 1.6 m below the surface on a slope susceptible to debris ... -
Impacts of climate change on Blue Nile flows using bias-corrected GCM scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)This study analyses the output of 17 general circulation models (GCMs) included in the 4th IPCC assessment report. Downscaled precipitation and potential (reference crop) evapotranspiration (PET) scenarios for the 2081– ... -
Influences of Lake Malawi on the spatial and diurnal variability on local precipitation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We investigate how the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation vary around Lake Malawi on a diurnal timescale, which can be valuable information for water resource management in tropical south-eastern African ... -
Mass balance and hydrological modeling of the Hardangerjøkulen ice cap in south-central Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A detailed, physically based, one dimensional column snowpack model (Crocus) has been incorporated into the hydrological model, Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Hydro, to allow for direct surface mass balance simulation ... -
New flood frequency estimates for the largest river in Norway based on the combination of short and long time series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Glomma River is the largest in Norway, with a catchment area of 154 450 km2. People living near the shores of this river are frequently exposed to destructive floods that impair local cities and communities. Unfortunately, ... -
Regional climate models' performance in representing precipitation and temperature over selected Mediterranean areas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-12-12)This paper discusses the relative performance of several climate models in providing reliable forcing for hydrological modeling in six representative catchments in the Mediterranean region. We consider 14 Regional Climate ... -
The role of land and ocean evaporation on the variability of precipitation in the Yangtze River valley
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-04)The Yangtze River valley (YRV) experiences large intraseasonal and interannual precipitation variability, which is mainly due to East Asian monsoon influence. The East Asian monsoon is caused by interaction of many processes ...
