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 ... -
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 ...
