Book Description
"The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River (ADF) basin drains portions of Georgia, Alabama and Florida. There are a number of reservoirs in the ACF basin providing flow regulation, water supplies, hydroelectric power, recreation, navigation and fish and wildlife habitat. Additional climatology data are required as input to the study directed at development of an improved water management policy for the ACF basin. This portion of the overall study is directed at providing a general description of weather patterns in the ACF basin, determining the availability of specific climatic data for the basin and providing extensive statistical analysis of precipitation data for the basin."--Page 1.

Improving Summer Drought Prediction in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin with Empirical Downscaling

Pages :
Book Description
The Georgia General Assembly, like many states, has enacted pre-defined, comprehensive, drought-mitigation apparatus, but they need rainfall outlooks. Global circulation models (GCMs) provide rainfall outlooks, but they are too spatially course for jurisdictional impact assessment. To wed these efforts, spatially averaged, time-smoothed, daily precipitation observations from the National Weather Service cooperative network are fitted to eight points of 700 mbar atmospheric data from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project for climate downscaling and drought prediction in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) river basin. The domain is regionalized with a factor analysis to create specialized models. All models complied well with mathematical assumptions, though the residuals were somewhat skewed and flattened. All models had an R-squared> 0.2. The models revealed map points to the south to be especially influential. A leave-one-out cross-validation showed the models to be unbiased with a percent error of

Statistical Associations Between Large Scale Climate Oscillations and Mesoscale Surface Meteorological Variability in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin
Author: Kelly Stevens

Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The oscillations chosen based upon their previously researched associations to climate patterns in the southeastern United States include the global scale Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). We apply analysis thresholds to the canonical loadings and cross loadings for the canonical roots extracted at the 95% significance level to display the relational results for two separate tests conducted using CCA. The dependent data set for one test consists of the temperature data and SPI6, while the independent data set consists of all the indices for four seasons, allowing for time-lagged and concurrent relationship discoveries. In this test, the standardized temperature data account for much of the variance explained for the CCA-derived concocted variate, with the strongest canonical relationships occurring during the winter season (DJF).

National Environmental Change Information System Case Study
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Global environmental change
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The Global Hydrology and Climate Center and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center conducted a fact-finding case study for the Data Management Working Group (DMWG) now referred to as the Data and Information Working Group (DIWG), of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) to determine the feasibility of an interagency National Environmental Change Information System (NECIS). In order to better understand the data and information needs of policy and decision makers at the national, state and local level, the DIWG asked the case study team to choose a regional water resources issue in the southeastern United States that had an impact on a diverse group of stakeholders. The southeastern United States was also of interest because the region experiences interannual climatic variations and impacts due to El Nino and La Nina. Jointly, with input from the DIWG, a focus on future water resources planning in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River basins of Alabama. Georgia, and Florida was selected. A tristate compact and water allocation formula is currently being negotiated between the states and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) that will affect the availability of water among competing uses within the ACF River basin. All major reservoirs on the ACF are federally owned and operated by the U.S. Army COE. A similar two-state negotiation is ongoing that addresses the water allocations in the adjacent Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) River basin, which extends from northwest Georgia to Mobile Bay. The ACF and ACT basins are the subject of a comprehensive river basin study involving many stakeholders. The key objectives of this case study were to identify specific data and information needs of key stakeholders in the ACF region, determine what capabilities are needed to provide the most practical response to these user requests, and to identify any limitations in the use of federal data and information.
