[Narccap-topic-extremes] NARCCAP Extremes - What are you doing?

[Kelly Mahoney]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for getting this started!

I am also working with NARCCAP data to look at precipitation extremes, 
but so far have focused on further downscaling efforts, and with a focus 
on the Colorado Front Range. My work in this area was originally 
motivated by water resources management challenges regarding the 
potential for changes in precip extremes to affect dam design/operation, 
but I'm also now looking into changes in hail and overall storm 
environment characteristics.

Together with colleagues from NOAA, CIRES, and the Bureau of 
Reclamation, we are in the process of proposing ongoing work which will 
hopefully allow us to further investigate how the NARCCAP data itself 
compares to our dynamical downscaling efforts as well as information 
gleaned from extreme value statistical approaches.

Re: the publication thread, I have none to list right now, but hopefully 
that will be changing soon!

Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing about everyone else's 
efforts and experiences in this area.

Best,
Kelly Mahoney

However, for those of you doing research with extremes, let's see what we all are doing.  So – what is your extremes-related research?

We have also looked at monthly precipitation extremes in the NARCCAP simulations and, in other work, are looking at daily temperature extremes.
