Panelists:
Twenty five years hence, meteorology will be much different and expand far beyond the traditional weather forecast. Personal sensors will monitor weather nearly everywhere. Advanced computing will allow us to forecast at perhaps minute scales and kilometer resolutions, customized for each particular user. Post-mobile devices will enable instantaneous use of the information – even in remote areas of today’s developing nations. Transportation will be safer, businesses will operate more efficiently, events will automatically schedule around anticipated weather, and much more. Operational weather forecasts will be interlaced with new environmental elements that impact economic, health, energy, and security decisions. Many aspects of our daily lives will change forever. Climate change’s possibilities add a critical dimension to community resiliency. Should global weather patterns be altered, forecasting could become more challenging than today. The recent release of the fifth IPCC synthesis report has brought focus to this particular issue. Dr. Kathryn Sullivan, NOAA Administrator, will lead the session with a keynote on her vision for the meteorology enterprise in the year 2040. Following her keynote, the panelists - representing different demographics and perspectives - will then provide their vision, accompanied by a moderated discussion among the panelists.

Water and Society - On the Edge Session I: Addressing the Risk Tolerance and Tipping Points of Communities Faced with Extreme Lack/Surplus of Precipitation
Location: 126BC (Phoenix Convention Center - West and North Buildings)
Hosts: (Joint
between the 29th Conference on Hydrology;
and the 10th Symposium on Societal Applications: Policy, Research and Practice
)
Cochairs:
Increased climate warming has brought more frequent and severe weather events which include more intense precipitation and extreme heat. These events put human lives and ecosystems at risk, cost billions of dollars, and create havoc for planning, particularly in communities that do not fully understand the potential impact and ramifications of weather and climate. As a result, communities, working with their water utilities, are facing decisions previously unimagined from trucking in potable water during severe droughts to assure survival of their residents to spending large sums of money to move water supply and treatment infrastructure in response to flooding.
Using the water sector as a framing, this session concentrates on understanding and avoiding the increased potential risk communities face from a changing climate. This session will explore how communities assess their risks and risk tolerance to establish planning thresholds, and the kind of information, tools and outreach they need to manage a future of changing precipitation patterns. Talks should address how communities assess their water supply risks and thresholds in terms of too much/too little water, what needs to be taken into consideration in determining these tipping points, and what decision support tools, methods, and approaches communities are using to prepare for and adapt to potential extreme events.
A final panel will discuss lessons learned from these studies, including where each community needs to make individualized decisions and where a common framework can serve everyone in their thinking.

Advances in evaporation and evapotranspiration estimates
Host: 29th Conference on Hydrology
Cochairs:
Advances in the estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) and atmospheric evaporative demand (Eo) are made across a broad range of scales and techniques, from in-situ observations to remote sensing and modeling. Specific topics for this session might include:
• estimating ET from various perspectives: remote sensing platforms, ground-based point observations and parameterizations, plant-based experimentation, and water budgets
• operational ET estimation
• land surface-atmosphere feedbacks
• future remote sensing missions and needs for ET
• Eo as an input to operational LSMs to derive ET, schedule crop irrigation, and as a metric of hydroclimatic trends and variability

Water and Society - On the Edge Session II: Panel Discussion on Addressing the Risk Tolerance and Tipping Points of Communities Faced with Extreme Lack/Surplus of Precipitation

Moderators:
Panelists:
This panel discussion will further the topics discussed in the 8:30 session with the same name. In both sessions, we use the water sector as an example, to better understand how to lessen the risk associated with a changing climate. The previous talks addressed how communities assess their water supply risks and thresholds in terms of too much/too little water, what needs to be taken into consideration in determining these tipping points, and what decision support tools, methods, and approaches communities are using to prepare for and adapt to potential extreme events. This panel will discuss lessons learned from these studies, including where each community needs to make individualized decisions and where a common framework can serve everyone in their thinking. Among the questions we will ask are: (1) What is the value of using thresholds and tipping points as a framework for decision making and assessing risk? (2) What are the best practices that were learned from the session 1 talks, and how can they be adopted in other decision making contexts? and (3) How can an interdisciplinary approach bring physical and social sciences together to establish thresholds and tipping points within a specific context (i.e., users, geographic location, population, etc…)?

Location: 127ABC (Phoenix Convention Center - West and North Buildings)

Cochairs:
The North American Monsoon (NAM) defines the summer season hydroclimatology of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico with important interactions between oceanic, atmospheric, land surface and ecological processes. This session invites contributions on recent advances in understanding the NAM, including its predictability, physical processes, and societal implications. Of particular interest are studies using field datasets, such as those from the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) and subsequent activities, and numerical modeling efforts stemming from those activities. We welcome studies focused across a range of time scales from the diurnal cycle up to interannual predictions under climate change scenarios.

Growing Importance of Extremes: The Example of Drought in California and the West

Hosts: (Joint

)
Cochairs:
With the potential for more frequent and more intense extreme events in parts of the world as a consequence of climate change, there is increasing focus on science in the context of minimizing risk and vulnerability. This session will showcase the scientific advances, impacts, and lessons learned through the lens of Western drought events. Topics of interest include predictability of US drought on multiple scales, climate change attribution of drought, lessons gleaned from the applied science community, planning and processes for drought, and cascading impacts of drought on both the ecological and urban environments. Papers addressing social and economic impacts are particularly encouraged. Note that papers do not have to directly relate to Western US drought, but can also discuss impacts and response to other extreme events in other parts of the US and the world from which transferable lessons might be shared.

This session invites papers that focus on scientific and operational, practical issues related to predicting and defining drought and reducing drought impacts. Topics of interest include the formulation and use of drought indices and definitions, and the characterization of drought impacts across the diverse climates of North America and the world. In particular, we welcome presentations spanning a range from drought analysis and prediction to management activities for high-impact drought events, on statewide to continental scales, and including applications such as drought early warning systems. Policy responses for managing drought are also of interest.
