This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change poses many challenges that affect society and the natural world. With these challenges, however, come opportunities to respond. By taking steps to adapt to and mitigate climate change, the risks to society and the impacts of continued climate change can be lessened. The National Climate Assessment, coordinated by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is a mandated report intended to inform response decisions. Required to be developed every four years, these reports provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date evaluation of climate change impacts available for the United States, making them a unique and important climate change document. The draft Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) report reviewed here addresses a wide range of topics of high importance to the United States and society more broadly, extending from human health and community well-being, to the built environment, to businesses and economies, to ecosystems and natural resources. This report evaluates the draft NCA4 to determine if it meets the requirements of the federal mandate, whether it provides accurate information grounded in the scientific literature, and whether it effectively communicates climate science, impacts, and responses for general audiences including the public, decision makers, and other stakeholders.
Book Synopsis Emergent Impacts of Rapidly Changing Climate Extremes in Alaska by : Rick T. Lader
Download or read book Emergent Impacts of Rapidly Changing Climate Extremes in Alaska written by Rick T. Lader and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequency and intensity of certain extreme weather events in Alaska are increasing, largely due to climate warming from greenhouse gas emissions. Future projections indicate that these trends will continue, potentially leading to billions of dollars in climate-related damages this century. Expected damages arise from increases in extreme precipitation, severe wildfire, altered ocean chemistry, land subsidence from permafrost thaw, and coastal erosion. This dissertation applies new downscaled reanalysis and climate model simulations from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project to enhance current understanding of climate extremes in Alaska. Model output is analyzed for a historical period (1981-2010) and three projected periods (2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100) using representative concentration pathway 8.5. Unprecedented heat and precipitation are expected to occur when compared to the historical period. Maximum 1-day and consecutive 5-day precipitation amounts are expected to increase by 53% and 50%, respectively, and the number of summer days per year (Tmax > 25°C) increases from a statewide average of 1.5 from 1981-2010 to 29.7 for 2071-2100. Major alterations to the landscape of Alaska are anticipated due to a decreasing frequency of freezing temperatures. Growing season length extends by 48-87 days by 2071-2100 with the largest changes in northern Alaska. In contrast, projections indicate a reduced snow season length statewide and many locations in southwest Alaska no longer have continuous winter snow cover. Changes to these metrics indicate that a climate-warming signal emerges from the historical inter-annual variability, meaning that future distributions are entirely outside of those previously observed. The largest changes to extremes may be avoided by following a lower emissions trajectory, which would reduce the impacts and associated costs to maintain infrastructure and human health.

Book Synopsis Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in extreme events, and some of the reasons for the changes are well understood. Warming increases the likelihood of extremely hot days and nights, favors increased atmospheric moisture that may result in more frequent heavy rainfall and snowfall, and leads to evaporation that can exacerbate droughts. Even with evidence of these broad trends, scientists cautioned in the past that individual weather events couldn't be attributed to climate change. Now, with advances in understanding the climate science behind extreme events and the science of extreme event attribution, such blanket statements may not be accurate. The relatively young science of extreme event attribution seeks to tease out the influence of human-cause climate change from other factors, such as natural sources of variability like El Niño, as contributors to individual extreme events. Event attribution can answer questions about how much climate change influenced the probability or intensity of a specific type of weather event. As event attribution capabilities improve, they could help inform choices about assessing and managing risk, and in guiding climate adaptation strategies. This report examines the current state of science of extreme weather attribution, and identifies ways to move the science forward to improve attribution capabilities.

Book Synopsis Air Masses, Fronts and Winter Precipitation in Central Alaska by : Michael A. Bilello
Download or read book Air Masses, Fronts and Winter Precipitation in Central Alaska written by Michael A. Bilello and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical, meteorological and climatological aspects of freezing precipitation in the Tanana River Basin of central Alaska are examined. Periods of inclement weather are evaluated with respect to frequency and duration, and concurrent temperature, wind, atmospheric pressure and visibility conditions. Although relatively dry polar continental air masses dominate the area in winter, massive intrusions of maritime air occasionally produce a major snowstorm and, in rare instances, rain or freezing rain. Because of the surrounding mountain ranges, snow occurs most often when the atmospheric pressure is rising and the winds are from the west. Ice fogs are observed at temperatures below -21F, and very few water-droplet fogs are reported at temperatures below -31F. The relationships between air masses, fronts and local climatic influences may be used in forecasting winter precipitation in central Alaska. The statistical survey presented also contributes new information on winter weather conditions in this region. (Author).

Book Synopsis Changes in Frequency of Extreme Temperature and Precipitation Events in Alaska by : Brooke Stewart
Download or read book Changes in Frequency of Extreme Temperature and Precipitation Events in Alaska written by Brooke Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decadal mean temperatures show a warming over the past 60 years at individual stations in Alaska. This research examines corresponding changes in frequencies of extremes of temperature and precipitation based on daily data from 26 Alaskan surface weather observing stations from 1950 to 2008. Extreme events were defined as the upper one percentile of events. Data were analyzed seasonally for each of six climate regions. Results indicate an overall increase in frequency of extreme maximum temperature events, a decrease in frequency of extreme minimum temperature events, and an increase in frequency of extreme three-day precipitation totals. Regional and seasonal variation is apparent, with the strongest trends occurring in the winter and spring seasons. Statistical significance is established through a series of Monte Carlo tests that preserve the distributions of the values. The winter and spring trends at many of the stations are significant at the 99% level. In spring, all stations in all regions, except the Southeast, display increases in frequency of warm extremes and decreases in frequency of cold extremes with at least 90% significance. Most stations in the Southeast displayed the same patterns with a high degree of significance. Winter had the next greatest increases (decreases) in the frequency of warm (cold) extremes, also with a high degree of significance. Precipitation results are highly variable and generally not as significant as patterns in temperature extremes. Decreases in frequency of extreme three-day precipitation events were found in the Arctic region for winter, spring, and summer, and are significant at the 90% level and greater. Significant decreasing trends are also seen in the Southwest in spring. The greatest increases in frequency of precipitation extremes are observed in the Southeast in winter. About half of all stations in the Southeast show moderately (80% or greater) significant increases during spring, summer and fall. Significant increases are also seen in winter and spring in the West Central region. Four of six regions (West Central, South Central, Southwest, and Southeast) show fewer minimum temperature extremes in winter and more maximum temperature and heavy precipitation extremes in summer during the more recent sub-period (1980-2008) relative to the earlier sub-period (1950-1979).
