Turbulent Heat Fluxes during an Extreme Lake-Effect Snow Event
(American Meteorological Society, 2017-12-01)
Proper modeling of the turbulent heat fluxes over lakes is critical for accurate predictions of lake-effect snowfall (LES). However, model evaluation of such a process has not been possible because of the lack of direct ...
A hydrological prediction system based on the SVS land-surface scheme: efficient calibration of GEM-Hydro for streamflow simulation over the Lake Ontario basin
(European Geosciences Union, 2017-09-28)
This work explores the potential of the distributed GEM-Hydro runoff modeling platform, developed at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) over the last decade. More precisely, the aim is to develop a robust ...
Resolving hydrometeorological data discontinuities along an international border.
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-05-01)
Monitoring, understanding, and forecasting the hydrologic cycle of large freshwater basins often requires a broad suite of data and models. Many of these datasets and models, however, are susceptible to variations in ...
