Mississippi River Basin Flooding Predictability Improved by Linking Patterns in the tropical Pacific and North Atlantic
Improvements in flood predictability along the Mississippi River by a COM-funded study use a high-quality dataset spanning the past 1,000 years to link tropical Pacific and North Atlantic patterns to regional hydroclimate.
Modeling Study Based on Hurricane Harvey Improves Flooding Predictions with Climate Change
New modeling framework supported by CVP uses Hurricane Harvey as a case study to improve the predictability over the next seventy years of precipitation and flooding due to hurricanes and climate change.
New publication on ensemble-based forecasting for Tropical Cyclone Isaias (2020) co-authored by Philip Orton, Principal Investigator with the Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (CCRUN)
The study, published in the Journal of Weather and Climate Extremes, found that the use of ensemble-based flood forecasting systems are more advanced than single forecasting systems, as they provide better information that can be used in emergency management decision making in the event of a disaster.
New study, funded by the California-Nevada Applications Program (CNAP), a NOAA RISA team, explores climate change impact on future atmospheric river flood damages in the western U.S.
The study, published in the Journal of Scientific Reports, reveals that annual expected atmospheric river-related flood damages in the western United States could increase significantly, raising important questions for policymakers aiming to target efforts to more effectively adapt to climate change.
RISA funds Cross-Team Projects on Flood Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation
The four projects enable a total of seven RISA teams to apply successful regional experience to national outcomes.
EDEN Webinar: RISA PI Talks Risk Communication
CISA’s Sarah Watson shares risk communication tips to help communities build resilience
RISA Webinar: Facing the Flood – A case study of Charleston’s response to and path forward following the SC Floods of October 2015
The Carolinas Integrated Sciences & Assessments (CISA) a NOAA RISA team, is holding a webinar on ‘December 8, 2015 to discuss the October 2015 flooding event in South Carolina.
CISA RISA releases 4-Pager on South Carolina Floods of October 2015
Members of the Carolinas Integrated Sciences & Assessments (CISA), a NOAA RISA team, compiled an integrated assessment of the conditions which contributed to the October 2015 extreme rainfall and flooding events in South Carolina.
Science needs for sea level adaptation planning
A new paper by Lindeman et. al—supported by the Climate Program Office—performed a synthesis of science needs from coastal communities by reporting on workshops held in Florida, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. The paper, “Science Needs for Sea-Level Adaptation Planning: Comparisons among Three U.S. Atlantic Coastal Regions,” was published online in the journal of Coastal Management on October 14, 2015.
