SUMMARY:Bering Science: Spring 2020 Bering Region Ocean Update
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Molly McCammon (AOOS)Rick Thoman (ACCAP)Maggie Mooney-Seus – Alaska Fisheries Science CenterKathy Kuletz – USFWS Migratory Birds ManagementRobb Kaler – USFWS Migratory Birds Management \n\n\n\nThe Bering Sea is undergoing rapid unprecedented change.  Sea ice extent in the late winters of 2018 and 2019 were by far the lowest recorded since satellite monitoring began in 1978. And even though sea ice and air temperatures were closer to “normal” this past winter\, environmental change is having profound impacts on the fish\, bird and marine mammals of the Bering Sea\, as well as the peoples of the region who depend on these resources.  \n\n\n\nUsing funds from a national Ocean Data Sharing Initiative\, the Alaska Ocean Observing System is working with partners foster greater sharing of  ocean-related observations and information. We will be presenting some new data and information products\, based on the needs of federal and state agency managers\, coastal communities\, tribes\, and private industry\, and invite webinar participants and other residents of western Alaska to join our conversation about their observations and their needs. \n\n\n\nHere is the Bering Science: Spring 2020 report which was written for a general audience and is intended to be the first of several reports published annually. To be included on future mailing lists\, contact Jill Prewitt. \n\n\n\nFunding for this publication was provided to AOOS from a national initiative to increase sharing of ocean and coastal data. AOOS is focusing on the Bering Sea region for the initial phase of this project.

SUMMARY:Hollings Scholar Presentations: Exploration of the Hot Dry Windy Index and wildfire; Climate Change and overnight fire growth
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Clairisse Reiher & Emily McCutchan\, 2020 Hollings Scholars \n\n\n\nDuring the summer of 2020 ACCAP and the Alaska Fire Science Consortium hosted two Ernest F. Hollings scholars for the summer internships.  Because of COVID-19 their internships were remote.  During this webinar the scholars will present their summer’s work.1. An exploration of the Hot Dry Windy Index & its applicability to the Alaska wildfire environment (Emily)Hot\, dry\, and windy conditions have a well-established link to wildfire growth. The Hot-Dry-Windy Index (HDW) combines daily values of wind speed and vapor pressure deficit to provide insight into large fire growth days. This study explores trends in HDW from 1980-2019 for Alaska based on ERA5 Reanalysis data\, compares daily values of HDW to MODIS fire detections for individual PSA’s\, and examines case studies to provide insight into HDW’s utility for fire forecasting in Alaska. \n\n\n\n2. Changing Summer Nighttime Climate and its Impact on Alaska Fire Growth (Clairisse)Growth of wildfires in Alaska is generally expected to occur with the assistance of heat and low moisture during daylight hours\, while overnight low temperatures and relative humidity recoveries limit this growth. However\, the progression of climatological warming in the Arctic\, combined with prolonged exposure to sunlight at high latitudes during the summer\, may be providing more capability for overnight fire growth than previously thought. This project makes use of historical wildfire records and ERA5-Land reanalysis data to investigate the potential of taking nighttime temperatures and relative humidity recoveries into consideration for fire weather forecasts. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\n\nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Detecting\, Projecting\, and Attributing Changes in Extreme Events in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:In a two part webinar\, work on detecting and projecting changes in extreme temperature events over Alaska will be paired with a presentation on attributing the role of anthropogenic climate change in extreme events in Alaska.  \n\n\n\nPart 1: Detecting and Projecting Changes in Extreme Temperature Events over Alaska Speaker: Sarah Weidman (NOAA Hollings Scholar)This project investigates the likelihood of two recent extreme temperature events in Alaska: the persistent cold event in January 2012 and the record-breaking heat wave in July 2019. Using SPEAR\, a high resolution global climate model developed by NOAA GFDL\, these extreme temperature events can be generalized and quantified to predict the likelihood of similar extreme heat and cold events in the future due to potential climate change scenarios.  \n\n\n\nPart 2: Attributing the role of anthropogenic climate change in extreme events in Alaska Speakers: Rick Lader & Peter Bieniek (International Arctic Research Center)Understanding the role of climate change in extreme weather/climate events in Alaska such as wildfires and sea ice loss is important for better predicting such events in the future. Recent Alaska attribution studies compared climate model simulations of the present climate\, in the context of the observed extreme event\, with simulations that estimate what the climate might have looked like without increased CO2. This presentation will examine three recent Alaska extreme events: 2015 wildfires\, 2016 marine heatwave\, 2018 Bering Sea low sea ice. The potential role of anthropogenic climate change will be assessed for all three cases. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe High Latitude Marine Heat Wave of 2016 and Its Impacts on AlaskaThe Record Low Bering Sea Ice Extent in 2018: Context\, Impacts\, and an Assessment of the Role of Anthropogenic Climate ChangeAn Assessment of the Role of Anthropogenic Climate Change in the Alaska Fire Season of 2015SPEAR: The Next Generation GFDL Modeling System for Seasonal to Multidecadal Prediction and ProjectionHigh temperatures smash all-time records in Alaska in early July 2019 Animation

SUMMARY:It's not all Sunshine in Summertime: Interior Alaska's Changing Warm Season
DESCRIPTION:Mud\, mud\, and more mud.  Image of muddy boots from the wet summer of 2014.\n\n\n\nSpeakers: Cecilia Borries-Strigle & Rick Thoman \n\n\n\nSpring and summer in Interior Alaska is now warmer\, and in recent years wetter than in the past\, and the impacts of these changes are affecting the lives and livelihoods of Alaskans. Persistent rains keep water levels high of rivers but potentially accelerate permafrost melt. Warmer springs and higher nighttime temperatures open up more garden and agricultural possibilities but also set the stage for increased wildfire activity. We’ll examine what’s happening and what the coming decades may bring for Interior summers. Precipitation variability and change has important impacts on fire weather and its management\, and fire managers need skillful information regarding the upcoming fire season to inform decisions. We will also examine using multi-model seasonal forecasts as a potential tool for fire managers to develop fire weather outlooks in March when management information is needed. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:VAWS: Deconstructing Surface Water in Permafrost Regions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Erin Trochim\, University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) \n\n\n\nSatellite records from the mid 1980s onward provide the opportunity to examine surface water distribution and change in permafrost regions. This is important because the nature of permafrost can create conditions where change is likely to occur but hydrology conditions can be highly variable. We will discuss how to account for these conditions and produce summaries which can be easily understood and updated. \n\n\n\nFor a copy of the presentation please email Erin Trochim \n\n\n\n\nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Complementary Uses of GEO and LEO Satellite Data in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Carl Dierking Geographic Information Network of Alaska (GINA) University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) \n\n\n\nCarl Dierking\n\n\n\nThe National Environmental Satellite Data Information Service (NESDIS) which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a number of satellites for monitoring the earth’s environment. These satellites are divided into two types of orbiting strategies.  \n\n\n\nGeostationary (GEO) satellites orbit at the same speed and direction as the earth’s rotation. Their fixed position relative to the earth provides continuous monitoring of the development and movement of weather systems\, however to synchronize with the earth’s rotation their orbit is quite distant from the surface and centered over the equator. This results in degraded resolution and parallax displacement in the high latitudes like Alaska. The newest generation of GEO satellites can take observations as frequently as every 30 seconds.  \n\n\n\nPolar-orbiting satellites travel from pole to pole covering a new swath of the earth with each pass. They are positioned much lower than geostationary satellites and are often referred as Low Earth Orbiting or LEO satellites. LEO satellites are usually sun-synchronous\, covering the entire globe twice a day (once ascending and once descending) and passing over the same point around the same time each day. They have much higher resolution imagery than GEO and minimal parallax\, however even with multiple LEO satellites and orbital trajectories converging over northern latitudes\, the coverage for Alaska is less frequent than GEO. LEO satellites are often equipped with additional sensors\, such as passive microwave which is able to see through clouds.  \n\n\n\nFor Alaska\, LEO and GEO satellites have advantages and disadvantages\, however other traditional observation networks are sparse in the state\, so it is important to utilize the best qualities of each platform to fully diagnose and monitor hazardous natural events. This presentation will show several examples of how data from each of these satellite platforms can be complementary in this process. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload

SUMMARY:Are we living in the future? The climate extremes of recent and future Southeast Alaska droughts and floods
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:Rick Thoman\, Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) at the University of Alaska FairbanksRick Lader\, International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska FairbanksJeremy Littell\, Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center (USGS) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the last couple years\, SE Alaska has experienced historically unprecedented drought and now historically extreme rainfall. These events have challenged management of regional infrastructure\, affected local and regional ecosystems\, and more importantly\, real consequences for people living and working in the region. Are they just natural variability\, chance one-time weirdness\, or harbingers of what is to come? Putting these recent events in context of our historical experience helps us understand droughts and deluges now and make sense of just how uncommon they really are in the past. Using the best climate science available\, we can also ask how likely these kinds of events may be in the future given what we know about climate change and its impacts on extremes. And we can try to make sense of the risks involved and what the science suggests we can do about adapting to the future before it gets here. Join Rick Thoman\, Rick Lader\, and Jeremy Littell for a webinar about the past\, present and future of precipitation extremes in southeast Alaska. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\nLinks shared during presentation \n\n\n\nClimate Projects for SE AlaskaDynamically downscaled climate data for Southeast Alaska

SUMMARY:The next decade of Alaskan Ocean Acidification Research: What we learned\, where 2020 fits\, and what’s coming next for the Bering Sea
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jessica Cross\, Oceanographer\, NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory \n\n\n\nOver the last decade\, ocean acidification (OA) has emerged as one of the most prominent issues in Alaskan marine research\, and a possible threat to culturally and commercially important marine resources. Multiple communities around the state are now engaged in their own OA studies and monitoring\, and are asking a common question: what risks does my region face? These are especially salient questions for Alaskans\, given that the intensity\, duration and extent of OA events have been greater than other ocean basins. Given the pace of the observed changes due to OA around Alaska\, the area is commonly referred to as a bellwether and the proverbial “canary in the coal mine” for the rest of the global ocean. Here\, we will take a look back at the last ten years of OA research in the Bering Sea\, and highlight new\, cutting-edge biogeochemical modeling\, forecasting\, and projection efforts that have dramatically increased our capacity to understand Alaskan OA from a large-scale perspective just in the past year. For example\, we have scaled point observations to the entire Bering Sea shelf to show that corrosive conditions have covered almost 60% of critical habitat areas in the last ten years\, and forecasts indicate that 2020 was even more strongly corrosive compared to the 2003-2019 average. These new insights have been quickly picked up by our colleagues engaged in ongoing laboratory studies of species-specific OA vulnerability and larger-scale ecosystem and bioeconomic analyses of OA impact. Our goal is to continue refining our capacity to identify new risks and emerging resilience of Alaskan ecosystems\, and guide sound\, evidence-based decisions that support sustainable marine resources in the future. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload
