The future intensification of hourly precipitation extremes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used observations and high-resolution modeling to show that rainfall changes related to rising temperatures depend on the available atmospheric moisture, and that the scaling rates between extreme precipitation and temperature are strongly dependent on the region, temperature, and moisture availability.

How Well Are We Measuring Snow: The NOAA/FAA/NCAR Winter Precipitation Test Bed
Roy Rasmussen,Bruce Baker,John Kochendorfer,Tilden P. Meyers,Scott Landolt,Alexandre P. Fischer,Jenny Black,Julie M. Thériault,Paul A. Kucera,David Gochis,Craig D. Smith,Rodica Nitu,Mark E. Hall,Kyoko Ikeda,Ethan Gutmann +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present recent efforts to understand the relative accuracies of different instrumentation and gauges with various windshield configurations to measure snowfall and highlight results from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Marshall Field Site.
High resolution coupled climate-runoff simulations of seasonal snowfall over Colorado: A process study of current and warmer climate
Roy Rasmussen,Changhai Liu,Kyoko Ikeda,David Gochis,David Yates,Fei Chen,Mukul Tewari,Michael Barlage,Jimy Dudhia,Wei Yu,Kathleen A. Miller,Kristi R. Arsenault,Vanda Grubišić,Gregory Thompson,Ethan Gutmann +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled high-resolution climate-runoff model was used to simulate the annual snowfall in the Colorado Headwaters region and the results showed that the proper spatial and temporal depiction of snowfall adequate for water resource and climate change purposes can be achieved with the appropriate choice of model grid spacing and parameterizations.

Continental-scale convection-permitting modeling of the current and future climate of North America
Changhai Liu,Kyoko Ikeda,Roy Rasmussen,Michael Barlage,Andrew J. Newman,Andreas F. Prein,Fei Chen,Liang Chen,Martyn P. Clark,Aiguo Dai,Jimy Dudhia,Trude Eidhammer,David Gochis,Ethan Gutmann,Sopan Kurkute,Yanping Li,Gregory Thompson,David Yates +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from a high-resolution climate change simulation that permits convection and resolves mesoscale orography at 4-km grid spacing over much of North America using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.

Slower snowmelt in a warmer world
TL;DR: The authors showed that shallower snowpack melts earlier, and at lower rates, than deeper, later-lying snow cover, and that the fraction of meltwater volume produced at high snowmelt rates is greatly reduced in a warmer climate.
