SUMMARY:Alaska's berries and their changing seasons
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. Katie V. Spellman & Dr. Christa P.H. Mulder \n\n\n\nChanges in the timing of the seasons in Alaska influences our wild berry flowering\, pollination\, ripening and fruit dispersal (including by us berry pickers).  Dr. Katie Spellman and Dr. Christa Mulder will discuss the ongoing research by the UAF International Arctic Research Center and Institute of Arctic Biology that explores how earlier springs\, warmer summers and wetter falls influence our amazing Alaska berries throughout their life cycles. Learn how public participation in this scientific research is helping improve our knowledge of ways berries are changing across our state. \n\n\n\nFor a copy of the presentation\, please email Tina Buxbaum \n\n\n\nLinks Shared During Presentation \n\n\n\nWinterberryBerry Learning ResourcesLate BloomersMelibeeLEO NetworkKatie’s Google Scholar PageChrista’s Google Scholar Page

SUMMARY:VAWS: Recent Advances in Water Vapor Products from Satellites for Forecasters
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Forsythe Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere Colorado State University \n\n\n\nForecasters routinely monitor total precipitable water (TPW) in the atmosphere via the NOAA operational blended TPW product. A new Advected Layer Precipitable Water (ALPW) product provides a vertical dimension and depicts long-fetch flows of moisture which enhance flood events. How these products are generated will be explained\, and typical forecast uses including in the Alaska region will be presented. Upcoming improvements to these products will be discussed. \n\n\n\nPresentation PDFDownload\n\n\n\nLinks Shared during Presentation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConstruction and Uncertainty Estimation of a Satellite‐Derived Total Precipitable Water Data Record Over the World’s OceansObserved Climatological Relationships of Extreme Daily Precipitation Events With Precipitable Water and Vertical Velocity in the Contiguous United StatesJuneau Flooding story VAWS: The NOAA Microwave Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS): Products\, Applications\, and Improvements WebinarAWIPS-2 Color Table AnimationLegacy Atmospheric Profiles and Derived Products From GOES‐16: Validation and ApplicationsCooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)Advected Layered Precipitable Water (mm): Three Hourly loop over last 36 hoursAlaska Advected Layered Precipitable Water (mm): Three Hourly loop over last 36 hoursTraining – Advected Layer Precipitable Water ProductHRRR 3 hour forecast minus ALPW difference animation

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
