Given the increasing number of reports about rapid permafrost thaw and predicted occurrence of wildfires in the Arctic\, it is of great social concern to know where and to what extent permafrost degradation is currently ongoing and may occur in the near future. This is true\, especially in ice-rich permafrost zones\, as consequential subsidence by ice-rich permafrost thaw (thermokarst) will cause significant changes in surface ecology\, landscape evolution\, and hydrological processes. \n\n\n\nThis presentation introduces several case studies on thermokarst subsidence observed in the field and by remote sensing in various time ranges. Field surveys and microwave remote sensing analyses were conducted to quantify thermokarst after surface disturbances in boreal forests of NE Siberia and tundra fire scars in Alaska. \n\n\n\nFor a copy of Go’s presentation\, please email him directly HERE URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/vaws-permafrost-june2020/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Alaska Weather Symposium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/iwahana.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200522T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200522T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T013821 CREATED:20200417T160000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220351Z UID:17754-1590148800-1590152400@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:May 2020 National Weather Service Alaska Climate Outlook Briefing DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rick Thoman\, ACCAP \nThe tools and techniques for making monthly and season scale climate forecasts are rapidly changing\, with the potential to provide useful forecasts at the month and longer range.

Climate-related changes in high-wind events have important implications for high-latitude residents\, yet there has heretofore been no systematic evaluation of such changes in a framework spanning historical and future timeframes. \n\n\n\nACCAP has recently developed a visualization tool that displays wind information for 71 coastal and inland locations around Alaska\, based on hourly station reports and hourly downscaled winds from two climate models. \n\n\n\nWe will introduce the tool by showing average monthly wind speeds\, wind roses\, and frequencies of high-wind events in past and future decades. High-wind events determined are most frequent during winter at coastal locations. High-wind events are projected by both climate models to become less frequent in Southeast Alaska but more frequent in the northern and western Alaska coastal regions\, which are precisely the regions in which the protective sea ice cover is decreasing. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\n\nCommunity Wind Tool URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/viewing-winds/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Fairbanks-International-Airport-Wind-Frequency-and-Strength-by-Direction-1980-2015.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200421T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20200421T110000 DTSTAMP:20260418T013821 CREATED:20200417T202119Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220754Z UID:17946-1587463200-1587466800@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:2020 Alaska River Break-up Preview DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Crane Johnson\, National Weather Service; & Rick Thoman\, ACCAP \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost of Alaska has just come off of a colder or snowier (or both) winter than in recent years.

Until recently\, projections of future snowpack responses to climate change were geographically coarse scale and poorly tailored to the needs of decision makers and stakeholders. In this presentation\, I describe snowpack projections from statistically downscaled precipitation and snow day fraction developed for Alaska. I focus on snowfall water equivalent and a hydrologically relevant indicator of seasonal streamflow.

In addition\, a major driver of increasing Arctic marine traffic remains natural resource development\, particularly in the Russian Arctic. This significant driver was highlighted in the scenarios work of the Arctic Council’s Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment (AMSA) released in 2009. The marine transportation system along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) links Russia’s oil\, gas and hard minerals to global markets and recent cargo tonnage carried along the NSR has been increasing to historic highs. Highly visible is the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities on the Yamal Peninsula and in the Ob Gulf\, and the use of icebreaking LNG carriers that can extend the navigation season. Some of this traffic increase along the NSR and through Bering Strait can be observed in the data collected by the Marine Exchange of Alaska. This talk will focus on recent marine operations and shipping in the U.S. maritime Arctic and along the length of the Russian marine Arctic. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\nLinks and Resources shared during webinar:\n\n\n\n\nCircum-Arctic Resource Appraisal: Estimates of Undiscovered Oil and Gas North of the Arctic Circle\n\n\n\nArctic Marine Shipping Assessment\n\n\n\nMarine Exchange of Alaska\n\n\n\nMarine accessibility along Russia’s Northern Sea Route\n\nemail Tina Buxbaum if you cannot access this publications to receive a pdf.

Current methods of predicting SLR in Alaska range from an empirical method based solely on surface temperatures\, to model-derived SLR. Both of these methods have limitations. \n\n\n\nThus an SLR climatology was developed yielding a robust data set of snowfall observations. The mean SLR for all Alaska Weather Forecast Offices was found to be much higher than the method based on surface temperatures. Considerable variability was noted in both mean and median SLR values between sites located along the Gulf coast and those in the interior. It is hypothesized that the frequency of events where warmer marine air over- runs cold\, dry arctic air from northwest Canada modulates these variations in snow to liquid ratio. \n\n\n\nAn observed sounding climatology was also developed for various low level thermal fields and was matched to observations of SLR at each site. For Southeast Alaska\, it was found that the 1000-850mb thickness was a good predictor of SLR with mid level thickness (850-700mb) being the best predictor in general for other areas of Alaska. Finally\, the results were then analyzed on a grid using the National Weather Service Graphical Forecast Editor (GFE) and a smart tool was developed which would allow operational forecasters to use this climatology as a starting point when making a prediction of snow to liquid ratio. This presentation will details the work described above. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/a-climatology-of-snow-to-liquid-ratios-in-alaska/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Alaska Weather Symposium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/David_Levin.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20191024T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20191024T193000 DTSTAMP:20260418T013821 CREATED:20191018T230737Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220756Z UID:17545-1571941800-1571945400@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Strait Science Series: Winter Sea Ice and Climate Outlook DESCRIPTION:Presentation Recording\n\n\n\nPart of the UAF Northwest Campus Strait Science SeriesIn-person at Grand Hall – NWC Education CenterOr join remotely via Zoom meeting information below:https://alaska.zoom.us/j/665398184Meeting ID: 665 398 184Dial by your location +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) Meeting ID: 665 398 184 Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aNdnrwuH URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/strait-science-series-winter-sea-ice-and-climate-outlook/ CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/SeaIceOutlook-Thoman-Oct-2019.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20191022T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20191022T110000 DTSTAMP:20260418T013821 CREATED:20190826T215948Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260404T011531Z UID:7384-1571738400-1571742000@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:Working together to adapt to a rapidly changing North DESCRIPTION:Apologies but due to a technical issue the first 5 minutes of the recorded presentation is missing.\n\n\nSpeakers: Leanna Heffner (Northwest Boreal LCC)\, Aaron Poe (Aleutian and Bering Sea Initiative)\, Danielle Stickman (Western Alaska LCC) \nLandscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) bring partners together to work on conservation solutions that help communities and decision makers adapt to and thrive in a rapidly changing north. Alaskans face many challenges as the climate warms\, erosion accelerates\, storms and flooding intensify\, sea ice and river ice changes\, wildfires increase\, and subsistence resources shift. \nThese challenges are too complex for any one entity to address alone. By working together we are better able to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of current and future generations of Alaskans. Despite recent changes in federal funding\, and with new help from private funders\, four of the five original Alaskan LCCs are still active: \n\nAleutian and Bering Sea Initiative\nNorthwest Boreal LCC\nNorth Pacific LCC\nWestern Alaska LCC\n\nCurrently the LCCs are helping to lead projects focused around climate resilience and adaptation\, coordinated and community-led monitoring\, and collaborative\, climate-smart approaches to land use planning.

We will also go over what type of impacts were recorded throughout the summer along with a progress report on follow-up work from the Southeast Alaska Drought workshop held this past spring. \nSpeakers:\n\nAaron Jacobs\, NOAA National Weather Service\nRick Thoman ACCAP\nHolly Prendeville\, US Dept of Agriculture\n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\nPresentation video URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/did-southeast-alaska-drought-conditions-improve-or-worsen-during-the-summer-of-2019-and-what-will-autumn-winter-bring/ LOCATION:Online only CATEGORIES:ACCAP Climate Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/drought.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Anchorage:20190821T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Anchorage:20190821T120000 DTSTAMP:20260418T013821 CREATED:20190725T200236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240725T220448Z UID:6946-1566385200-1566388800@uaf-accap.org SUMMARY:VAWS: What is an Atmospheric River and how do Alaska National Weather Service forecasters monitor these impactful events on communities and the hydrologic cycle? DESCRIPTION:Virtual Alaska Weather Symposium\nSpeakers: Aaron Jacobs\, NWS Juneau\, and Martin Ralph\, Scripps Institution of Oceanography \nAtmospheric rivers (ARs) have the ability to transport large amounts of water vapor from the tropics poleward into the upper latitudes that can have positive and negative effects on the environment and society. For example\, ARs events can cause dangerous flooding\, debris flows and large amounts of snowfall but at the same time can be beneficial to the environment especially areas that are in a drought. 20+ years of research have increased our understating of the dynamics of ARs. \nAt the same time the improved remote sensing and better numerical weather prediction has given forecasters increased ability to monitor atmospheric rivers\, although forecast challenges associated with ARs remain. \nThis talk will review what we know of ARs\, how forecasters monitor these events\, what type of impacts they can have on communities of Alaska\, and ongoing research particular to Alaska. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation video\n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload URL:https://uaf-accap.org/event/vaws-what-is-an-atmospheric-river-and-how-do-alaska-nws-forecasters-monitor-these-impactful-events-on-communities-and-the-hydrologic-cycle/ LOCATION:Online only CATEGORIES:Virtual Alaska Weather Symposium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uaf-accap.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/vaws_ar_webinar.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
