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

[Kelly Mahoney]

Hi all,

Per Toni's question (while not directed at me), I should also have 
mentioned a new project that a few NARCCAP users at CIRES/NOAA are doing 
involving atmospheric rivers too...

As part of this project (to being about a month or two), we will be 
identifying extreme cool-season precip events in the inter-mountain 
west, and evaluating the role of "atmospheric rivers" in those events.

The second half of the work may use the NARCCAP dataset to investigate 
similar events in projected future climates.

Thanks,
Kelly Mahoney
